What Dunedin City allows

Dunedin City has 3 data centers, operated by Chorus New Zealand Limited.

Connectivity from Dunedin City

6 networks are listed at the sites in Dunedin City according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works.

The electricity behind Dunedin City

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Dunedin City are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 54.8% of its electricity from hydro (2025). The detail: hydro 54.8%, geothermal and other renewables 21.8%, wind 9.7%, natural gas 8.9%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 1.5%, bioenergy 1.3%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 11.5% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 93 g of CO2, i.e. 4.9 times less than the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 3.3 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

What the ground has done under Dunedin City

Since 1970, 0 earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 100 km of Dunedin City, and 2 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 5.6 in 2015, 197 km away. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

What Dunedin City does not allow

No Internet exchange point is listed here: traffic will run over transit bought from a carrier, which is billed by bandwidth. No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.

Other cities with data centers near Dunedin City

The nearest site outside Dunedin City is 93 km away, in Waitaki District. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
