28% of Paid Pack10 Packs Show Zero Credits Spent After 3 Days—Capacity Planners Identify Underutilized Markets in Real Time

DC Hub's facility-coverage tracking reveals which build markets rank lowest in early research engagement, signaling opportunity for site-selection teams evaluating greenfield capacity.

PRESS RELEASE November 5, 2026

Highlights

28% of paid Pack10 research subscriptions show zero API credits consumed within the first 72 hours of activation. This metric—tracked across DC Hub's 300+ market coverage—surfaces which geographies and facility datasets are attracting immediate planning attention and which remain untapped.

Top markets driving early research engagement span three ISOs: Midland–Odessa (ERCOT, TX) posts an 81.8/100 Excess Power score on the Data Center Power Index; Cheyenne (WECC, WY) holds 73.8/100; and Kansas City (SPP, MO) sits at 72.9/100. Each market carries distinct grid-constraint profiles—Midland–Odessa at 23.1/100, Kansas City at 40.7/100, and Cheyenne at 25.5/100—creating varied timelines for interconnection and energization.

What it means

Zero-credit spend after 3 days is a leading indicator of market maturity in capacity planning. Markets with high early engagement suggest active site-selection workflows and tighter competitive timelines. Conversely, markets with low early utilization—despite strong Excess Power scores—may indicate gaps in awareness, incomplete facility inventory, or longer lead times before developers begin active site evaluation.

For hyperscalers and colocation operators, the contrast between high-power availability (Excess Power score) and actual planning activity (API usage) reveals timing asymmetries: markets that should be heating up but aren't signal earlier entry windows and reduced land-cost and permitting competition.
