## Salt Lake City at a glance

Salt Lake City has 270 MW operational, 136 MW under construction and 48 MW planned among the verified sites DC Hub lists that report capacity, as of 2026-11-12. By listed capacity the largest operators are Novva Data Centers (210 MW), Tract (108 MW) and Compass Datacenters (100 MW).

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 Salt Lake City

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.

The market has seen no recent deal activity registered in the tracking window, leaving current operator positioning and capacity expansion plans opaque.

The DCPI verdict of caution reflects a market at an inflection point on power supply. The combination suggests that while additional capacity is technically feasible, operators should expect to navigate both supply tightness and infrastructure coordination challenges.

No recent deals have been tracked in Salt Lake City's registry, leaving operator consolidation activity, M&A signals, and announced expansion intentions unclear. Without visible deal flow, it is difficult to assess whether capacity growth will emerge from existing operator investment in current sites or from new entrant activity. The absence of transaction records stands in contrast to broader Utah activity, where geothermal partnerships and municipal policy shifts are reshaping the regional data center landscape. Flexential's dominant footprint and DataBank's presence establish baseline operator continuity, but the lack of recent announcement flow means capacity plans and power procurement strategies for these facilities remain unannounced.

How Salt Lake City's power supply evolves will depend on utility-level infrastructure investment and operator decisions to expand or relocate load within the region.
