Data Center Power Index verdict for Melbourne — the market this facility sits in.
Full DCPI breakdown →DC Hub analyst read on Melbourne — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).
Melbourne's data center market comprises 118 tracked facilities totaling 1,820 MW, dominated by Equinix with a combined 10-facility footprint across its operating entities, followed by AirTrunk with 5 facilities. The market faces a dual constraint: an excess-power score of 35/100 signals tight capacity utilization, while a constraint score of 52/100 indicates moderate but material grid and infrastructure limitations. These metrics reflect a maturing market operating near functional capacity rather than one with slack for easy scaling. The AVOID verdict is unambiguous for acquisition-focused investors. With excess power scoring in the bottom third, new entrants acquiring existing assets will inherit facilities running lean on spare capacity—limiting flexibility for tenant growth, technology refresh cycles, or power-intensive workload migration. The constraint score of 52/100 means…
