New Mexico’s prime location in the southwest provides an extremely low risk of disruptive weather events such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, or other natural disasters. This means data centers in New Mexico benefit from a higher business operations uptime.
New Mexico also delivers some of the lowest electricity rates in the nation, 15.8% below the national average in fact. And, for companies trying to go green, New Mexico has long been a leader in renewable energy production and has a climate ideal for solar and wind production. While low land, construction, power, and operating costs mean New Mexico data centers benefit from a unique cost advantage.
