The publisher counts IT load capacity or installed capacity, which includes racks installed and not yet drawing load; the axis counts operating IT load. Held off the axis Mordor Intelligence publishes a capacity series for the same market on a different measure: "In terms of IT load capacity, the market is expected to grow from 3.53 thousand megawatt in 2025 to 7.18 thousand megawatt by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.25% during the forecast period (2025-2030)." That publisher defines the measure in one sentence: "The IT load capacity or installed capacity, refers to the amount of energy consumed by servers and network equipments placed in a rack installed." Racks installed include racks that are not yet drawing load, so its 3,530 MW for 2025 and the 1,350 MW of operating load above are two quantities of different scope. The pair is held off the axis above and carried here. Source Source: Mordor Intelligence, Australia Data Center Market. As at 14 January 2026.
