DC Hub Power Index goes global — 16 new international markets across UK, EU, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Canada

The first daily-refreshing public scorecard of data center power availability now spans 9 countries, with calibrated scoring for ENTSO-E, NGESO, EirGrid, AEMO, Nord Pool, TEPCO, KEPCO, IESO, Hydro-Québec, BC Hydro, and Singapore EMA.

NEW YORK — May 25, 2026 — DC Hub today announced an international expansion of the Data Center Power Index (DCPI), adding 16 new markets across nine countries: the United Kingdom (London, Manchester), Ireland (Dublin), Germany (Frankfurt), the Netherlands (Amsterdam), France (Paris, Marseille), Sweden (Stockholm), Japan (Tokyo, Osaka), Australia (Sydney, Melbourne), Singapore, and Canada (Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver). Every market receives the same two-axis treatment as the existing 232 U.S. markets — daily-refreshing Excess Power and Constraint scores with full methodology disclosure.

The international set is not generic. Each market's defaults are calibrated from the underlying ISO's published outlook documents: ENTSO-E Winter Outlook 2024 for European markets, AEMO ESOO 2024 for Australia, NGESO ETYS 2024 and the May 2024 connection-queue reform documentation for the UK, EirGrid Generation Capacity Statement for Ireland, IESO Annual Planning Outlook for Ontario, METI/OCCTO 2024 for Japan, and EMA Singapore statistics post-data-center moratorium easing. The scoring formulas are unchanged — what's new is country-specific defaults reflecting the actual grid operator's capacity, queue, and constraint posture.

Contrarian global rankings at launch

The international launch surfaces the same kind of overlooked-market opportunities the U.S. index has called out since launch. Montréal (Excess Power 65.2, BUILD) leads the international set on a combination of Hydro-Québec's stated 5 GW of available capacity, an 18-month interconnection queue (vs. London's 144-month), and a 70% queue-approval rate. Stockholm (Excess Power 62.2, BUILD) benefits from chronic Nordic hydro surplus, low curtailment, and a 26% reserve margin. At the other extreme, London's combination of a 7% reserve margin, 10% queue-approval rate, and 11% annual demand growth produces a low Excess Power score and AVOID verdict despite the city remaining the symbolic European cloud capital.

Why this matters

Existing data center indices — IDC's worldwide tracker, JLL's Global Data Center Outlook, CBRE's Global Data Center Trends — publish quarterly or annually, recommend the same Tier-1 markets every cycle, and do not publish methodology. DCPI publishes daily, recommends contrarian markets the legacy advisors have no fee revenue in, and ships the complete weight tables, data sources, and scoring formulas at dchub.cloud/dcpi/methodology.

Today's expansion makes DCPI the first global data center power index with all three properties simultaneously. The full historical dataset for every market — U.S. and international — is downloadable as open CSV at /data/dcpi-history.csv with no authentication.
