## Colocation lease rates in Newark

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

The market shows fragmented operator control, with each tracked entity managing a single facility. Power availability remains opaque; only one site in the market currently reports megawatt figures to DC Hub, preventing calculation of aggregate installed or available capacity.

The DCPI verdict reflects acute supply-side friction. This dual low-score pattern indicates that spare capacity is minimal and that the grid infrastructure supporting the market operates with tight headroom.
