Itasca remains an immature, zero-MW market with minimal operational density and constrained near-term expansion potential. Nine tracked facilities operate across the region, but collectively they represent no deployed megawatt capacity—a data point that underscores the market's nascent stage. Operator presence is fragmented: NTT controls the largest footprint with four facilities, while Microsoft, RagingWire Data Centers including a joint venture with NTT, and NTT Global Data Centers CH LLC each operate single sites. The absence of any tracked M&A activity signals that consolidation interest remains dormant, distinguishing Itasca from hyperscaler-driven markets where acquisition velocity typically precedes major capacity announcements. The DCPI verdict of AVOID—driven by excess-power scoring of 44/100 and constraint scoring of 52/100—reflects structural headwinds that should deter…
