Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 100 |
| Total listed | 100 |

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 Katy

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

Katy's tracked data center footprint comprises five facilities operated by EdgeConneX (two distinct entities), Element Critical, ServerFarm, and Skybox. The market shows fragmented operator presence with no single dominant player. Only one tracked site publicly reports power capacity figures, limiting visibility into aggregate supply metrics for the market.

The DCPI verdict of CAUTION reflects conflicting signals on power availability. Operators planning capacity expansion should expect power procurement to require longer lead times or premium terms relative to unconstrained markets.

No recent deals have been tracked in Katy's registry. This absence of M&A or capacity transaction activity reflects either stable operator holdings or limited third-party acquisition flow in the market. Without recent transaction data, operator capital plans, growth timelines, or exit intentions remain opaque.

Katy's position within the greater Houston market area positions it as a potential secondary site for operators seeking alternatives to core urban corridors, though no deal activity has materialized to confirm that interest locally.
