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.
One tracked site reports operational megawattage, though aggregate capacity figures are not available across the market. The operator roster reflects regional consolidation, with single-site operators including Ascent, LLC and others alongside the dual-operator presence of Aligned entities and Microsoft's Chicago-based infrastructure.
This combination signals that available grid headroom is limited relative to existing demand, and spare generation capacity within tracked facilities remains modest. Together these readings suggest that securing incremental power supply to support new builds or expansions will face both grid-side and facility-side tightness.
Aligned Data Centers' substantial three-facility presence and Microsoft's two-site footprint represent the dominant infrastructure anchors; no incoming operators or facility acquisitions appear in the current transaction log.
Forward visibility hinges on whether grid upgrades or facility-level power augmentation projects move forward in the near term.
