This analysis was written on 2026-11-07, when the Data Center Power Index for this market read 22.2. The index is recomputed through the day and reads 22.0 now — the figure above is the live one, and the narrative below describes the market as it stood when it was written.

## Colocation lease rates in Somerset

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

Only one tracked facility publicly reports megawatt capacity, signaling opacity across the broader operational footprint. The operator base remains thin—beyond CyrusOne's dominance, Rackspace maintains a single tracked presence with its Belmont NYC2 facility.

The DCPI verdict reflects limited headroom for new power sourcing. Operators seeking to add capacity here should expect elevated grid interconnection timelines and higher marginal costs for power acquisition.

Deal flow has stalled entirely: no recent transactions are tracked in Somerset. The absence of named recent deals is consistent with operator focus on managing existing assets rather than pursuing growth through procurement.

Market evolution will depend on utility-side investment in transmission and generation serving the Somerset region; absent that infrastructure expansion, power scarcity will remain the primary limiting factor for the foreseeable future.
