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 The Dalles

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

The Dalles hosts six tracked facilities totaling 600 MW across multiple operational statuses, with Google operating all six sites. A wind-driven grass fire burned near a Google data center construction site in the region, underscoring the rural location's exposure to seasonal hazards. The market remains dominated by a single operator, concentrating both infrastructure decisions and expansion trajectories in one entity's hands.

This combination means new power supply is possible but faces non-trivial infrastructure friction; parties pursuing additional capacity should expect to navigate upgrades to grid connectivity rather than assume unconstrained access to the region's underlying generation.

No recent deals are tracked in The Dalles' registry, leaving operator composition and expansion plans opaque.
