It sits in the Sheridan data-center market on the WECC grid, which DC Hub's Data Center Power Index currently rates AVOID, with an estimated 8.0-month time-to-power. Operators should weigh interconnection risk here — the market screens constrained on grid headroom and time-to-power.
Data Center Power Index verdict for Sheridan — the market this facility sits in.
Full DCPI breakdown →DC Hub analyst read on Sheridan — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).
Sheridan's data center footprint remains minimal, with only 2 tracked facilities totaling 0 MW of operational capacity. The market is split evenly between two operators—Advanced Communications Technology and DC HOST INC, each managing a single site. This fragmented, sub-scale presence reflects a market still in early stages of infrastructure development, with no established anchor tenant or utility-grade deployment pattern evident. The DCPI verdict of AVOID carries material weight for institutional investors. The excess-power score of 45/100 indicates insufficient surplus generation to support hyperscale or large cluster deployments, while the constraint rating of 23/100 suggests significant grid infrastructure limitations that would impose operational costs and expansion friction. For buyers and operators, this dual constraint means capital deployment faces both supply-side challenges…
