How scoring works

DC Readiness is a 0–100 weighted blend of ten factors — power (25%), speed-to-power (20%), fiber (15%), water (10%), hazard (10%), and smaller weights for labor, existing-datacenter ecosystem, land, tax, and climate. Scores are screening estimates from public data sources; catalogued capacity is a theoretical aggregate, not deliverable power. Read the full methodology →
