Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |

| Total listed | 112 |

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 Nashville

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: DC Hub estimate. Nearest covered market Atlanta (CBRE North America Data Center Trends H1 2026 (250+ kW): (figure on paid plans)) less the secondary-market discount seen in CBRE H1 2026 (figure on paid plans); TN industrial power ~6.8 c/kWh (EIA via DC Hub).

The market has recorded no recent power-and-supply deals tracked by DC Hub, leaving the current operator structure and capacity distribution static over the measured period.

Together, these readings mean new facility buildouts or expansions will face material lead times and cost structures around power sourcing, not insurmountable barriers but real friction points that affect project economics and timeline.

Operator concentration remains stable with no tracked deal activity. The absence of recent M&A, investment rounds, or capacity acquisitions suggests the market is neither consolidating nor expanding through large capital moves. Zoning and permitting friction—evidenced by public opposition to proposed facilities near the Nashville Zoo and broader Tennessee community pushback against data center siting—may be suppressing deal visibility or delaying project announcements rather than eliminating demand.
