Chester's data center market remains nascent and severely undercapitalized. Seven tracked facilities operate across the region, but they collectively represent zero megawatts of deployable capacity—a material gap that signals either early-stage development, incomplete reporting, or fundamental infrastructure deficits. PowerHouse operates two sites, the largest footprint in the market, while CoreWeave, Digital Fortress, nLighten HQ BV, and an unidentified operator each maintain single facilities. The absence of any recent M&A activity underscores investor hesitancy toward the region. The DCPI verdict of AVOID is unambiguous and rooted in twin constraints. An excess-power score of 47/100 indicates the grid cannot reliably support incremental hyperscale demand, while a constraint rating of 44/100 signals acute transmission or interconnection bottlenecks. This pairing—neither metric…
