Sydney's data center market is structurally oversupplied on power while facing acute interconnection bottlenecks, creating a high-risk investment environment. The market spans 223 tracked facilities delivering 2,735 MW of total capacity, with Equinix commanding the largest footprint at 15 facilities. The excess-power score of 33/100 signals significant idle generation capacity relative to demand absorption, while the constraint score of 61/100 reflects severe limitations in grid interconnection and transmission infrastructure that prevent efficient utilization of available power. This mismatch—abundant generation coupled with constrained delivery—is the defining inefficiency of the Sydney market. The AVOID verdict applies directly to acquisition-stage investors and reflects the structural risk of stranded assets. Buyers entering at current valuations face a dual squeeze: excess…
