The region hosts four tracked facilities delivering 200 MW of aggregate capacity, concentrated among Google operating two sites, Centrilogic, and Dacentec. The DCPI framework assigns this market an excess-power score of 38/100 and constraint rating of 27/100—both in the lower quartile—reflecting acute infrastructure friction across the market. The dual-constraint verdict demands caution from both buyers and operators. An excess-power score of 38/100 signals insufficient available generation or problematic grid access relative to existing and near-term demand; the constraint score of 27/100 indicates severe limitations on physical or logistical expansion capacity.
