What limits new data centre capacity in Canberra
Evaluate land zoning, power connection lead times, heat rejection methods, and delivery programmes together, rather than treating any single factor as the default binding constraint.
According to an undated ACT Government policy page checked on 12 October 2026, the ACT Government uses Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) to achieve compliance in meeting its 100% renewable energy target. For specific facility or development sites, obtain parcel-specific electricity connection offers, secured capacity allocations, required network augmentation works, and firm energisation schedules. Site water access and chosen heat-rejection systems should also be confirmed directly for each location.
