UAE utilities agree grid capacity plot by plot and publish no substation headroom or connection queues. This page ranks data center clusters on the indicators that are public: high-voltage substations nearby, megawatts already built and distance to internet exchanges and cable landings. The score screens locations and is not a connection offer.
| # | Cluster | Emirate | DC sites | Built-out MW | Connectability | Nearest HV substation | To connectivity | Cooling degree days |

Industrial land and warehouses from OpenStreetMap, ranked on high-voltage proximity. These are areas, not plots: the UAE publishes no parcel layer, so plot-level siting needs a municipality or free-zone request.
