Sources: CBRE, JLL, EIA, FERC interconnection queue data, utility filings. Last updated June 17, 2026. Bubble sizes reflect total market capacity including operational, under-construction, and planned facilities — not live capacity only. Individual market figures vary by source methodology.
This map tracks active data center development across the United States, covering major markets including Northern Virginia, Phoenix, Dallas, Chicago, Silicon Valley, Atlanta, New Jersey, and Portland. Bubble size reflects total market capacity — operational, under construction, and planned — measured in gigawatts. The Power Availability layer shows regional grid headroom based on utility and FERC interconnection data. The Grid Constraints layer marks areas with known interconnection backlogs, moratoriums, or regulatory barriers to new load. Data is drawn from CBRE, JLL, EIA, and public utility filings.
