Data Center Power Index verdict for Dublin — the market this facility sits in.
Full DCPI breakdown →DC Hub analyst read on Dublin — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).
Dublin's data center market is severely constrained by power availability despite modest utilization, with 162 tracked facilities totaling 2,543 MW concentrated among a small number of operators. The excess-power score of 24/100 indicates acute supply limitations—the market is critically undersupplied relative to demand. The constraint score of 78/100 reflects infrastructure bottlenecks that extend beyond power generation to grid interconnection and cooling capacity. This combination creates a market fundamentally misaligned with growth ambitions. For acquisition-focused investors, the DCPI verdict is unambiguous: avoid. A constraint score of 78/100 means that acquiring operational assets in Dublin carries structural risk regardless of current utilization rates. Buyers cannot easily expand capacity or commission new power infrastructure to support tenant growth or resale value creation.…
