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 Richland Parish

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

Meta accounts for 22 of the tracked sites—13 under the Meta operator name and 9 under Meta Platforms—establishing near-total control of deployed capacity in the parish. The market's power infrastructure reflects this concentration: all tracked capacity exists within a single operator ecosystem, with no recent deals recorded and no competing platforms establishing presence.

This combination—adequate base supply paired with delivery bottlenecks—creates a challenging environment for new facility siting.

Deal flow in Richland Parish has stalled. The absence of competing operators or acquisition activity reflects the structural challenge: available power does not translate readily into usable capacity for new builds or operator diversification.
