Forecast total deployable capacity in Australia (FY30)
This report forecasts the Australian data centre market through 2030, highlighting a massive expansion driven by hyperscale demand and the AI boom. Total deployable capacity is projected to grow from 1,428MW in FY25 to 3,176MW in FY30, a 17.3% CAGR. While Sydney remains the dominant hub, Melbourne is attracting significant investment. However, the sector faces structural constraints, including power grid bottlenecks and labour shortages, which are shifting the market toward a state of structural scarcity.
