Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 8 |
| Total listed | 8 |

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 Buffalo

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

The market has seen recent activity in operator consolidation and capacity expansion, with TeraWulf running two facilities and three operators each maintaining single sites.

The DCPI verdict of CAUTION reflects tension between available supply and grid access. This combination means new power procurement is possible but not frictionless—grid interconnection timelines, transmission upgrades, or utility coordination may extend project schedules or increase pre-development costs.

No major announced investment commitments have been disclosed for Buffalo recently, though deal activity in the broader Aligned Data Centers and regional CBRE-Onnec transaction space signals continued M&A interest in the Northeast. A proposed two-year moratorium under review by Buffalo Common Council and an active municipal task force evaluating data center development add regulatory uncertainty independent of power supply fundamentals. These governance processes may affect facility timelines regardless of grid readiness.
