In short
As of 8 October 2026, DC Market Insights tracks 875 data centers in United States run by 126 operators: 573 operational, 90 under construction and 212 planned. Stated operational capacity is 3,666 MW, with a further 2,021 MW under construction and 4,275 MW planned. Centersquare holds the largest share of tracked operational capacity (25%).
MW = IT capacity where the source states it, otherwise total capacity. 238 of 875 facilities have a stated capacity; the others are counted as sites only.

Talk to an analystDC Market Insights tracks 875 data centers in United States as of October 2026: 573 operational, 90 under construction and 212 planned, run by 126 operators. The count grows as we verify more sites.
Tracked operational capacity in United States is 3,666 MW, with 2,021 MW under construction and 4,275 MW planned. These totals use the capacity each source states (IT load where given) and cover 238 of 875 tracked facilities.
By tracked operational capacity, the largest operators in United States are Centersquare (934 MW), CyrusOne (785 MW) and DataBank (343 MW).
The largest clusters by tracked capacity are Northern Virginia (117 facilities), Central Pennsylvania (2 facilities) and Richmond (24 facilities). The map above shows every site.
We track 2,021 MW under construction and 4,275 MW planned. The largest projects are PowerHouse PAX-1 (1,350 MW), PowerHouse 95 (900 MW) and Vantage Trident Aurora (334 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.
