Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.
DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet.
The market has absorbed significant capacity build-out, though no recent deals have been tracked in the acquisition or investment pipeline.
The DCPI verdict of AVOID reflects conflicting power dynamics. This dual reading suggests the market has hit a supply-ceiling: available grid infrastructure cannot easily accommodate incremental load without capital-intensive augmentation. NextDC flagged earnings risk tied to a Melbourne data center power delay, underscoring that expansion projects face real delays in securing new supply commitments.
Active pipeline signals point to ongoing developer interest despite power headwinds. A filing exists for a 200 MW facility targeting the South Morang Terminal Station area, while HyperDC has filed plans for a 400 MW campus outside Geelong near an existing substation and battery energy storage project. No recent acquisition or investment deals have been recorded in Melbourne proper, though regional activity in Geelong suggests developers are testing adjacent sites to bypass central Melbourne's power bottleneck.
Power procurement dynamics will remain the primary friction point for new build commitments in Melbourne through the near term.
