Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 454 |
| Total listed | 454 |

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 Plano

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

This combination—neither flush nor starved—defines the current operating environment.

This is not a power scarcity signal; it is a signal that new power comes with friction.

Recent deal activity in Plano is not tracked. Aligned Data Centers has announced three separate acquisitions in prior periods, and CoreWeave operates two facilities in the market, but no new transactions appear in the current monitoring window. DataBank's broader acquisition strategy—documented in other markets—reflects the sector's consolidation trend, though Plano-specific activity is absent from recent records. The operator roster is stable and concentrated, with the top four operators controlling the majority of tracked capacity.
