## Colocation lease rates in Perth

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

Equinix, DC Alliance, and Stack Infrastructure lead operator concentration, each running between two and three sites in the region. The market has recorded no recent deal activity, reflecting a pause in announced capacity expansion or M&A since the last tracking cycle.

The DCPI verdict of AVOID carries a specific diagnostic signal about power supply dynamics. Together these readings suggest that new capacity commitments in Perth will encounter material delays in securing power feed-in, grid connection studies, or interconnection queue positions. This is not a statement about market demand or facility quality; it reflects the technical and commercial landscape for sourcing additional electricity supply.

Operator distribution shows fragmentation typical of maturing regional markets. Beyond the lead three operators, NEXTDC and Vocus Group each operate two facilities, while 60 tracked sites distribute among smaller or single-site operators. The absence of recent deal announcements indicates no material M&A or capacity acquisition has been publicly tracked in the current window. This silence does not signal retreat or weakness in underlying demand; it reflects a market pausing between investment cycles.
