Perth's data center market remains constrained and undersupplied, with 75 tracked facilities totaling 260 MW across a fragmented operator base. The excess-power score of 35/100 signals acute capacity scarcity, while the constraint rating of 52/100 reflects infrastructure bottlenecks that limit expansion velocity. This combination positions Perth as a low-utilization, high-friction market where supply cannot meet near-term demand growth. The DCPI verdict of AVOID is unambiguous for acquisition-stage investors: the market lacks the operational surplus and pricing flexibility that make M&A economically defensible.
