Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 150 |
| Total listed | 150 |

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 Dulles

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

AWS maintains the largest footprint with nine tracked facilities in the region, while QTS and Centersquare each operate single sites. The market remains concentrated: AWS alone accounts for approximately 69 percent of tracked operator presence by facility count. No recent deals have been recorded in the Dulles registry.

Together, these metrics indicate that acquiring incremental power supply in Dulles faces structural headwinds from both generation availability and grid interconnection capacity.

Deal flow in the region remains inactive according to tracked records, with no recent transactions logged. The lack of recorded Dulles transactions does not reflect sector-wide momentum elsewhere in Northern Virginia, where expansion announcements and acquisitions continue.

Forward momentum in Dulles will depend on whether utility-scale power infrastructure can expand to match the region's existing 210 MW footprint and support additional facilities beyond current tracked projects.
