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.

Amazon Web Services operates the largest footprint with 98 sites, followed by CyrusOne at 18 sites and a separate AWS entity at 16 sites.

The DCPI verdict reflects acute power supply tension. This is not a statement about market demand or facility quality—it reflects the documented difficulty of securing new power supply in the market's current state.

Deal flow in Sterling has stalled; no recent transactions are tracked. However, Sterling itself shows no recorded deals in the tracked window, and no announced projects are attributed to new operator entry or major capacity commitments in the market.

Until interconnection backlogs clear or new utility capacity comes online, operators citing or expanding in Sterling will face prolonged lead times and elevated procurement costs for incremental power.
