Free, open methodology positions DC Hub as the data center industry's de facto market intelligence reference — auto-discovering opportunities from 21,000+ verified facilities across 289 markets
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK, May 11, 2026 — DC Hub today launched version 2 of the Data Center Power Index (DCPI), expanding coverage to 275+ data center markets across 14+ countries — a nearly 10x increase from the original 32-market US-only index.
The expansion includes major international hubs (Singapore's 216 facilities, Frankfurt's 1,782 MW of operational capacity, London, Tokyo, Amsterdam) plus 260+ US cities auto-discovered from the company's facility database — capturing emerging markets like Quincy WA, Albuquerque NM, Tampa FL, and dozens of regional hubs traditional intelligence providers miss.
"The data center industry has lacked a transparent, peer-reviewable market scoring framework that updates daily and covers more than the obvious top 30. DCPI v2 fills that gap with 289 markets scored. We're publishing the methodology, citation formats, and permanent data URLs so analysts, brokers, and operators at firms like JLL, CBRE, Data Center Dynamics, and Data Center Frontier can cite and build on it." — Jonathan Martone, Founder, DC Hub
