Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 29 |
| Total listed | 29 |

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 Philadelphia

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

No recent deal activity has been tracked in the market.

This combination suggests that operators seeking to add generation or secure additional supply commitments will encounter elevated barriers relative to unconstrained markets.

Within Philadelphia proper, however, the operator base remains stable without announced M&A or facility expansions. Operator concentration—with the top five firms controlling 14 of 57 sites—suggests mature market dynamics and established footprint patterns.

Political and community factors merit attention alongside power metrics, as Philadelphia-area data center development has surfaced in legislative and civic debates around land use and infrastructure impact, though these dynamics operate independently of power supply availability.
