Full DCPI breakdown →DC Hub analyst read on El Paso — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).
El Paso's data center footprint spans 2,670 MW across 23 tracked facilities, but faces a critical power-supply mismatch. Meta dominates operational presence with 9 facilities 6 + 3 attributed entities, while Transtelco El Paso operates 5 sites and smaller players including CenturyLink and MDC fill secondary roles. The market's excess-power score of 69/100 suggests theoretical capacity availability, yet this apparent abundance masks serious infrastructure constraints that materially limit expansion velocity. The DCPI verdict of CAUTION reflects a structural paradox: while power exists on paper, the constraint score of 51/100 signals that grid interconnection, transmission bottlenecks, or distribution limitations prevent operators from reliably accessing that power. For acquisition-focused investors, this translates to elevated capex risk—planned facilities may face multi-quarter delays…
