## Paris at a glance

Paris has 304 MW operational among the verified sites DC Hub lists that report capacity, as of 2026-11-12. By listed capacity the largest operators are Equinix (113 MW), Interxion (75 MW) and Digital Realty (40 MW).

Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 304 |
| Total listed | 304 |

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 Paris

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: CBRE Global Data Center Trends 2026, Figure 5 (Monthly Pricing for 250-to-500-kW Capacity by Market, Q1 2026): Paris (figure on paid plans) [(link)](https://www.cbre.com/insights/reports/global-data-center-trends-2026)

The market shows no recorded deal announcements in the current tracking cycle, though Digital Realty has initiated groundbreaking activity on a new Paris facility.

This combination places Paris in the AVOID category for new power procurement, meaning operators pursuing capacity expansion face material delays in grid connection timelines and heightened cost exposure for infrastructure upgrades needed to support additional demand.

Deal flow in Paris remains dormant with no recent transactions recorded. The operator landscape remains stable, with Equinix and Digital Reality commanding the largest footprints. Recent groundbreaking by Digital Reality signals active site-level development, and a separate announcement flagged a large Nvidia Blackwell deployment at a Global Switch Paris facility, though the end-user remains undisclosed.

Forward-looking, power grid co-location dynamics will remain the primary friction point for Paris data center expansion through 2027.
