## Atlanta at a glance

Atlanta has 574 MW operational, 530 MW under construction and 60 MW planned among the verified sites DC Hub lists that report capacity, as of 2026-11-12. By listed capacity the largest operators are Microsoft (500 MW), Switch (200 MW) and Yondr Group (100 MW).

Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

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 Atlanta

Broker lease rates (CBRE/JLL): available on paid plans. Asking base rent per kW of critical IT capacity. Electricity is normally billed separately (metered pass-through), plus cross-connects and one-time fees. Signed deals, term and size change the number. Source: CBRE North America Data Center Trends H1 2026 (250+ kW): Atlanta (figure on paid plans) [(link)](https://www.cbre.com/insights/books/north-america-data-center-trends-h1-2026)

The verdict to avoid reflects the difficulty of securing incremental supply at scale, not market demand or facility quality; operators will face extended timelines and elevated costs for new power connections or upgrades.

Recent deal flow includes a lease arrangement involving QumulusAI, though terms and counterparty identity remain unreported. The broader Atlanta region shows active development: Carrier Connect recently secured a 4 MW lease for an entire facility outside the city limits, suggesting operators are finding capacity by expanding beyond core metros. Regional news has flagged Atlanta as a top market for data center construction, though local and state leadership discussions around potential moratoriums reflect tension between growth velocity and infrastructure strain.

The combination of tight power availability and ongoing construction velocity creates an asymmetric market where new entrants face meaningfully harder power procurement than existing operators with established utility relationships.
