达拉斯——北德克萨斯州击败了全球多个顶尖数据中心枢纽,在最新全球排名中登顶,德克萨斯州在该行业的影响力也日益增强。

全球商业地产服务公司高纬环球发布的《2026年全球数据中心市场对比报告》显示,达拉斯位列全球第一。这个孤星之州在所有分类中都表现亮眼,奥斯汀-圣安东尼奥和西德克萨斯也在各自所属类别中排名第一。

该排名凸显出,随着企业纷纷寻找支持人工智能及其他计算业务所需的土地和电力资源,德克萨斯州迅速成为数据中心开发的热门选址地。高纬环球表示,该州的发展速度有望最终赶上甚至超越弗吉尼亚州——后者是全球运营装机容量最大的数据中心市场。

达拉斯并非全球最大的数据中心市场。尽管达拉斯排名第一,但按已投入运营的装机容量计算,弗吉尼亚州仍是全球最大的数据中心市场。

不过,高纬环球的排名并非单纯考量现有规模,而是评估行业未来增长潜力。这家商业地产服务公司从电力和土地供应、在建项目、现有基础设施以及监管环境等多个维度,对全球107个市场进行了对比评估。

报告显示,达拉斯的规划中数据中心开发项目规模位列全球第三,仅次于弗吉尼亚州和亚特兰大。而这类开发项目正遍及德克萨斯州各地。

高纬环球指出,数据中心开发活动已从成熟的达拉斯-沃斯堡市场向外扩散,企业正寻找支撑人工智能及其他计算业务所需的大片土地和电力资源。按当前发展速度,德克萨斯州的总数据中心装机容量有望最终赶上或超越弗吉尼亚州。

报告称,德克萨斯州在这场竞争中拥有多项优势,包括充足的土地资源、友好的营商环境、独立且解除管制的电网,以及开发激励政策。

这种快速发展也引起了政界关注,德克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特要求数据中心提供更多自备电力,并承担基础设施成本,以应对全州范围内加速的开发项目。

这种发展规模也给德克萨斯州的资源带来了压力。

西德克萨斯州和潘汉德尔地区的水资源供应正成为担忧焦点,而新数据中心所需的海量电力也让人们更加关注该州的电力供应状况。德克萨斯州还出台了新规定,要求部分大型电力用户分摊基础设施成本,并说明其对电网可靠性的影响。

电力供应不足是全行业普遍面临的问题。

高纬环球表示,如今电力已成为企业选址时的首要考量因素,公用事业公司平均需要4.4年才能将大型新项目接入电网。这种等待时长促使部分开发商自行获取或发电。

德克萨斯州或许已经拥有全球排名第一的数据中心市场,但能否保持领先地位,将取决于该州能否为未来的发展提供足够电力。

DALLAS – North Texas has beaten some of the world’s biggest data center hubs to claim the No. 1 spot in a new global ranking, as Texas becomes an increasingly powerful player in the industry.

Dallas ranked No. 1 in the 2026 Global Data Center Market Comparison by Cushman & Wakefield, a global commercial real estate services firm. The Lone Star State made a strong showing across the board, with Austin-San Antonio and West Texas also ranking first in their respective categories.

The rankings underscore how quickly Texas has become a major destination for data center development as companies search for the land and electricity needed to support artificial intelligence and other computing. Cushman & Wakefield said the state is growing at a pace that could eventually match, or surpass, Virginia, the world’s largest data center market by operating capacity.

Dallas isn’t the world’s largest data center market. Despite Dallas’ No. 1 ranking, Virginia remains the world’s largest data center market based on the amount of capacity already in operation.

Cushman & Wakefield’s ranking, however, looks beyond sheer size to where the industry is positioned to grow. The commercial real estate services firm compared 107 markets on factors including access to power and land, projects under construction, existing infrastructure and the regulatory environment.

Dallas has one of the largest pipelines of planned data center development, trailing only Virginia and Atlanta, according to the report. And that development is spreading across Texas.

Cushman & Wakefield said activity has pushed outward from the long-established Dallas-Fort Worth market as companies search for vast amounts of land and electricity needed to support AI and other computing. At the current pace, the firm said Texas could eventually match or surpass Virginia in total data center capacity.

Texas has several advantages in that race, including abundant land, a business-friendly environment, an independent and deregulated power grid and incentives for development, according to the report.

The rapid growth has also drawn political attention, with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pressing data centers to provide more of their own power and cover infrastructure costs as development accelerates across the state.

The scale of that growth is also putting pressure on Texas’ resources.

Water availability is becoming a concern in West Texas and the Panhandle, while the enormous amount of electricity needed for new data centers is putting greater focus on the state’s power supply. Texas has also adopted new rules requiring some large electricity users to share infrastructure costs and account for their impact on grid reliability.

Finding enough power is an industry-wide problem.

Cushman & Wakefield said electricity is now the top consideration when companies choose where to build, with utilities taking an average of 4.4 years to connect large new projects to the grid. Those waits are prompting some developers to secure or generate power themselves.

Texas may already be home to the world’s top-ranked data center market, but staying on top could come down to whether the state can provide enough power for what comes next.
