Why Dallas-Fort Worth specifically
DFW grew into the third largest colocation market in the country with more than 700 MW under construction at once, and it did it on cheap land and a grid that is its own interconnection. ERCOT isolation cuts both ways: faster to connect, more exposed in a weather event.
Volume market. More simultaneous projects than specialists, so travel crews rotate in constantly and rates hold through the year rather than spiking.
