Data Center Power Index verdict for Mexico City — the market this facility sits in.
Full DCPI breakdown →DC Hub analyst read on Mexico City — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).
Mexico City's data center market remains nascent and constrained, with 42 tracked facilities delivering 92 MW of total capacity across a fragmented operator base. Kio Networks dominates with 9 MW across multiple entities, while Equinix, ATC HOLDING FIBRA MEXICO, and KIO each operate 2 MW. The market's excess-power score of 14/100 indicates severe undersupply relative to demand, yet this is offset entirely by infrastructure bottlenecks: a constraint score of 67/100 signals that grid, interconnection, and utility capacity limitations prevent effective capacity deployment and customer connection. For acquisition-focused investors, the DCPI verdict of AVOID is unambiguous. While power scarcity typically attracts greenfield investment, Mexico City's constraint profile reveals a market where adding capacity creates operational risk rather than opportunity. Grid upgrade timelines remain…
