Infratil (ISIN NZIFTE0003S3) said CDC had 1.10GW of contracted capacity on October 21, 2026, while power delivery and construction timelines for Australian sites remained on track, according to Infratil. The statement addressed investor questions as data center operators faced growing scrutiny over grid access.

CDC keeps its capacity pipeline moving

The operational message matters because CDC had 550MW of leasable operating capacity and 810MW under construction at September 30, 2026. Contracted capacity reached 1.10GW, up 70MW in the quarter, according to NZ AI Infrastructure Index.

Infratil owns 49.69 percent of CDC. The update therefore links the group's infrastructure valuation to execution across Australian and New Zealand data centers, rather than to a single construction site.

Three milestones shape the story

On September 16, 2026, Infratil lifted fiscal 2027 EBITDAF guidance to NZD 1.32 billion to NZD 1.42 billion, as data center demand supported growth, according to NZ AI Infrastructure Index. On October 7, 2026, CDC's independent valuation was set at A$18.45 billion, down A$78 million from June 30, according to Infratil. The October 21 power update is the latest of the three events.

What date comes next?

Infratil intends to release interim results for the period ended September 30, 2026, on November 18, 2026. Infratil said the virtual briefing will begin at 11:00 a.m. NZT. That report should show whether the contracted pipeline is translating into the expected fiscal 2027 earnings trajectory.

Stock valuation stays tied to execution

Infratil was last at NZD 12.15 on the NZX on October 23, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. NZDT. Its market capitalization was NZD 12.2 billion on the same date, while the 52-week range was NZD 10.43 to NZD 16.14. The next results release gives investors a dated test of guidance, capacity and valuation.
