Austin/SA
The municipal utilities insulate it somewhat (CPS is not an Oncor-style TDSP), but ERCOT's pause and the TCEQ halt still bind. Sub-75 MW deployments are the nea…

DFW
This is the #1-ranked market, but new 75 MW+ loads are frozen at the grid level and a new governor wants a statutory moratorium. Existing energized and pre-audi…

Dakotas
Cold climate, stranded wind, a co-op willing to build for load, and voters who said yes. A rare tailwind market.…

Denver
The core city has paused through May 2027 and the tariff is unsettled. This is TJ's home market: field notes will add color here.…

Houston
A big eligible queue, but it is frozen like the rest of ERCOT. Gulf Coast gas supply is an advantage once the audit clears.…

Indiana
The utility structures (GenCo) protect ratepayers and keep Amazon building, but the capital city closed its doors through 2027.…

Contracted, energizing load at Alliant and MidAmerican plus cheap wind. The rural local moratorium count is the main risk.…

Kansas City
Evergy is contracting real hyperscale load under a strict tariff, while rural Kansas voters are drawing hard lines.…

The rules are clear and costs fall on the customer, which is investable. The Minneapolis pause expires Nov 21, so watch whether it is extended.…

N. Virginia
The biggest market is the most constrained. Only 10.8 MW is available, Loudoun has frozen applications for 12 months, there is a new per-kWh tax, and Dominion's…

New York has the first statewide pause in force, and New Jersey has new cost-allocation law and dozens of local moratoria (counts vary by tracker). This is a la…

TVA is pricing data centers separately, a new rules regime is live, and the moratorium window just closed.…

Omaha
No new state incentive applications, and the public utility is discounting speculative load. Existing hyperscale campuses expand, but new entrants face worse ec…

Essentially sold out, data centers now pay more by law, and the core city is weighing a permanent cap. Growth shifts east (The Dalles, Umatilla/Morrow) onto pub…

Signed ESAs concentrated at TRIC, a pro-development county, and self-build gas make Reno one of the few West markets adding real capacity. Watch water and NV En…

Silicon Valley
CEQA review now applies to every new data center from 2027 and cost-causation is in statute. Power is tight and expensive. Inventory is valuable, but new supply…
