Description
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
Translate workload concentration into modelled connectivity requirements by Australian market and cluster, including:
- Connectivity demand in Gbps and Tbps
- Data centre interconnection requirements
- AI-related connectivity demand
- Cluster and corridor comparisons
- Fibre and carrier opportunity
- North-south connectivity requirements
Infrastructure and geospatial intelligence
The Atlas incorporates location-based infrastructure analysis to provide additional context around facility development, market concentration and infrastructure constraints.
