Data Center Power Index verdict for Somerset — the market this facility sits in.

DC Hub analyst read on Somerset — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).

Somerset's data center market is undersupplied and constrained, with 500 MW across 16 tracked facilities creating acute capacity friction. The market scores 34/100 on both excess-power and constraint metrics—a rare symmetric pairing that signals neither surplus nor meaningful slack, but rather a market at equilibrium under stress. CyrusOne operates the largest identifiable footprint with four facilities combined across its listed entities, while 6 unidentified operators control substantial capacity, indicating fragmentation and opacity that typically precedes consolidation or acquisition activity. The dual 34/100 verdict is a clear signal to avoid speculative entry. Excess-power parity with constraint means new entrants cannot rely on cheap secondary capacity to undercut incumbents, nor can buyers negotiate favorable lease terms from distressed operators sitting on idle infrastructure.…
