Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.

## Colocation lease rates in Abilene

DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet.

Abilene's data center footprint spans 1,950 MW across five tracked facilities, anchored by hyperscaler and specialized compute operators. LONGHORN DATA CENTER, Lancium, Oracle/OpenAI, and the Stargate project (OpenAI/SoftBank/Oracle) represent the operator base, with no recent deal activity recorded in the tracked period.

The DCPI verdict of CAUTION reflects a balanced but tightening supply outlook. Operators pursuing capacity additions should expect deliberate grid coordination and may face capacity reservation requirements that exceed typical regional baselines.

Operator composition reflects heavy concentration among hyperscalers and AI-focused compute platforms. The presence of four distinct operators across 1,950 MW indicates fragmentation compared to markets dominated by single-operator campuses, though the Stargate project's scale potential could reshape this distribution. The operator roster suggests demand persistence for both GPU-intensive and general compute capacity.
