Australia Data Centre Intelligence Atlas 2026

AUSTRALIA • 2026 EDITION • UPDATED QUARTERLY

The Australia Data Centre Intelligence Atlas provides a facility-level view of Australia’s data centre market, linking current and pipeline capacity with future workload demand and modelled connectivity requirements through 2035.

Designed for data centre operators, investors, network operators, technology vendors and strategic planning teams, the Atlas moves beyond a facility database to provide a consistent view of where capacity is being developed, how demand may evolve and which Australian data centre clusters are likely to experience the strongest infrastructure and connectivity requirements.

What’s included

Facility and pipeline intelligence

Track material operational, under-construction and announced data centres across Australia, including:

Operator and facility
Location and data centre cluster
Development status
Operational and ultimate capacity
Expected ready-for-service timing
Latitude and longitude
Source and confidence classification

Supply and capacity outlook

Understand how Australia’s data centre supply base is evolving by operator, cluster and year, including operational capacity, pipeline capacity and future market development.

AI and workload demand

Forecast annual data centre demand through 2035 across:

General cloud
Enterprise workloads
CDN and video
AI inference
AI training
Physical AI

The model includes Base, Accelerated and Efficiency scenarios to assess the sensitivity of future IT load and facility demand.

Connectivity intelligence
