Full DCPI breakdown →DC Hub analyst read on Goose Creek — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).
Goose Creek's data center market consists of a single 200 MW facility operated by Google, representing a highly concentrated and mature deployment with minimal diversification. The market's excess-power score of 35/100 indicates tight supply relative to local demand, while the constraint rating of 37/100 suggests meaningful limitations on expansion or operational flexibility—likely stemming from grid infrastructure, land availability, or permitting friction. This combination yields a clear AVOID verdict for prospective investors. For acquisition-focused buyers and operators, the AVOID rating signals structural headwinds that outweigh the apparent tightness in power availability. While a low excess-power score might superficially suggest scarcity value, the constraint metric reveals why: the market cannot easily absorb or support new capacity. This is not a supply-constrained opportunity…
