In short
As of 20 October 2026, DC Market Insights tracks 104 data centers in Russia run by 19 operators: 80 operational, 10 under construction and 14 planned. Stated operational capacity is 371 MW, with a further 183 MW under construction and 69 MW planned. IXcellerate holds the largest share of tracked operational capacity (34%).
MW = IT capacity where the source states it, otherwise total capacity. 31 of 104 facilities have a stated capacity; the others are counted as sites only.

Talk to an analystDC Market Insights tracks 104 data centers in Russia as of October 2026: 80 operational, 10 under construction and 14 planned, run by 19 operators. The count grows as we verify more sites.
Tracked operational capacity in Russia is 371 MW, with 183 MW under construction and 69 MW planned. These totals use the capacity each source states (IT load where given) and cover 31 of 104 tracked facilities.
By tracked operational capacity, the largest operators in Russia are IXcellerate (128 MW), Yandex (63 MW) and Rostelecom-DPC (RTK-DPC) (50 MW).
The largest clusters by tracked capacity are Moscow (55 facilities), Saint Petersburg (17 facilities) and Kaluga (1 facilities). The map above shows every site.
We track 183 MW under construction and 69 MW planned. The largest projects are IXcellerate MOS11 (Vёshki) (40 MW), Yandex Vladimir 2 data center (40 MW) and Atomdata Moscow-2 (35 MW).
Every facility comes from a page we opened: the operator’s own website or announcement, a stock-exchange filing, a planning or government record, or a named trade publication. A second analyst re-opens the source and checks the name, location, status and capacity before the row is published. We do not copy other data center directories.
We show IT (critical) capacity when the source states it, otherwise the total or utility capacity the source gives, and say which in the facility’s note. When a source gives no capacity, the field stays empty. We never estimate it.
When the source gives an address or coordinates we use them. Otherwise the dot sits at the centre of the facility’s city (marked as approximate), using the GeoNames gazetteer.
The tracker is updated every week as new facilities are announced and existing ones change status. Each row shows the date it was last checked.
Yes. Each country with 50 or more facilities has a Capacity Sheet in Excel with every facility, its source link, the status history and summaries. Our analysts can also prepare an operator extract or a custom cut.
