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.
Broker lease rates (CBRE/JLL): available on paid plans. Asking base rent per kW of critical IT capacity. Electricity is normally billed separately (metered pass-through), plus cross-connects and one-time fees. Signed deals, term and size change the number.

Equinix leads with 8 sites, followed by AirTrunk with 7 and Canberra Data Centres with 4.
This combination positions Sydney as a market where power procurement for new facilities will face meaningful headwinds.
Recent transaction flow reflects debt and growth financing rather than asset consolidation. AirTrunk recorded two debt facilities announced on consecutive dates (October 2026), signaling staged funding for phased campus deployment. EdgeConneX participated in a joint venture structure on 14 October 2026. Blackstone's debt arrangement with Coatue in February 2026 preceded the wave of AirTrunk announcements. This activity pattern—staged debt raises, venture partnerships, and single-asset development pipelines—reflects the structural challenge of power availability shaping deal mechanics.
