## Colocation lease rates in Billings

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

The market has attracted regulatory attention, including ongoing litigation at the county commissioner level and federal agreements affecting infrastructure development in the region. No recent power or facility deals have been tracked in this market.

The DCPI verdict reflects a fundamental tension in Billings' power profile. This divergence—abundant supply coupled with high structural barriers—means new entrants or operators seeking to add load should anticipate significant friction in connecting to or expanding within the grid.

The absence of tracked recent deals indicates no active M&A, asset transfers, or power-backed facility transactions in the near term. This stasis contrasts with sector-wide deal flow but mirrors dormancy observed in peer markets like Des Moines and Bluffdale, where transaction volume has similarly flatlined despite underlying infrastructure assets.

Billings' power and supply outlook will depend on resolution of the regulatory and community friction currently documented in county-level disputes and ongoing federal infrastructure negotiations affecting the region.
