Core-field coverage counts eight basic fields available in the Atlas. It is not an accuracy score or a measure of technical specification completeness. Individual evidence checks appear below.
Evidence by field
Evidence status applies to the named field and cited sources. “Not found” means those sources do not establish the fact; it does not establish absence.
- Identity Source checked
- The operator identifies NEXTDC D2 Darwin. Certification and location evidence are described separately.Checked 2026-09-11 · NEXTDC ↗ · NEXTDC ↗
- Capacity Source checked
- Existing accepted scope values match the named FY26 development disclosures: construction 1.5 MW IT. Built means designed power of fitted-out halls; no ultimate-campus amount is added to its included phases.Checked 2026-09-11 · NEXTDC ↗

Capacity & development
Power for servers, GPUs, storage & networking (IT power) · 2026 target
Approximately 1.5 MW initial fit-out. Practical completion target 1HFY27 means July–December 2026; the target is not proof of commissioning.
Power for servers, GPUs, storage & networking (IT power)
FY26 site appendix gives approximately 6 MW-plus total planned IT and approximately 1.5 MW initial capacity. The 4.5 MW residual is a disjoint remaining design after subtracting the included initial construction phase. The initial phase target does not date this remainder.
Proposed or approved design capacity. Included in the planning inventory, not a dated delivery forecast or a claim of committed supply.
Government certification
Certification not verified
No verified certification scope has been assigned to this record. Unknown does not mean uncertified.
What certification covers →Scope and context
- The approximately 6 MW+ ultimate plan includes the initial phase and is not added again.
- Technical details reported by Data Center Map are shown separately from the Atlas's primary-source observations.
- Directory reconciliation: Directory parent campus includes D1 despite distinct published Harvey Street/Ryko Court addresses. Preserve accepted physicalSiteId pending operator campus-boundary reconciliation.
- City map markers are approximate. No exact facility coordinates have been verified.
- Remaining design is separated from the initial construction phase: 6 minus 1.5 equals 4.5 MW. No completion date is assigned to the remainder.
Compute, workloads & commercial commitments
D2 subsea-connectivity construction
The FY26 p 18 development update links 1.5 MW in progress at D2 to new or contracted submarine-cable infrastructure.

- 1.5 MW FY26 results published 2026-08-27
- Evidence scope
- Named facility · NEXTDC
- Evidence as-of date
- 2026-08-27
How to read this: The selected disclosure does not identify a compute offtake customer or GPU inventory. Cable infrastructure is distinct from a GPU training deployment; the phase is already included in physical capacity.

NEXTDC Australian fitted-out capacity: 277.9 MW
NEXTDC reports 287.9 MW consolidated built capacity at 30 June 2026, including 10 MW at Kuala Lumpur. The derived Australian portfolio is 277.9 MW. Named-site evidence allocates 273.45 MW within this portfolio.

- 277.9 MW IT 30 June 2026
- Evidence scope
- Operator portfolio · NEXTDC
- Evidence as-of date
- 2026-06-30
How to read this: Built capacity is the designed power of fitted-out halls. Customer infrastructure may require further investment. The regional table rounds Australia to 278 MW. Named-site capacity is deducted before the remaining portfolio balance is counted.
