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 Sacramento

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: DC Hub estimate. Below Silicon Valley (CBRE North America Data Center Trends H1 2026 (250+ kW): (figure on paid plans)), above CBRE secondary markets (figure on paid plans) given CA industrial power ~20.6 c/kWh (EIA via DC Hub).

NTT, Prime, and RagingWire Data Centers each operate three to four sites, while Frontier Sacramento and QTS Realty maintain dual presences. The market has not recorded recent deal activity in tracked datasets.

This configuration signals that new power procurement pathways remain available and grid access barriers remain moderate. The BUILD verdict applies specifically to scenarios where new power supply can be secured; it is not a broader market endorsement.

Operator concentration remains moderate, with no single player controlling more than four sites. The absence of recent deal announcements does not indicate demand weakness—it reflects a pause in transaction recording rather than activity cessation. Local media coverage signals active municipal engagement on future projects, including transparency commitments from Sacramento leaders and reports of prospective "large load" facilities under consideration. These signals suggest planning and feasibility discussions are active, even where formal deal announcements have not yet surfaced.
