The largest concentration is Sioux Falls, with 5 data centers, followed by Rapid City with 2 and Yankton with 2. The operators with the most data centers in South Dakota are Midcontinent Communications (4), South Dakota Network (2), TierPoint (2), Golden West Telecommunications Coop (1), Sequitor Edge (1). Colocation and interconnection providers appear most often because they publish building-level detail; hyperscale campuses appear where the operator or the county names the individual buildings. Not every operator discloses size. In South Dakota, 4 publish a floor area and 1 publish a power figure, and each figure is shown against the data center it belongs to rather than added into one number. They are not the same measurement: one operator states the floor area of a single building, another the full capacity of a campus it has only announced. SPP runs the wholesale power market and the high-voltage grid for most of South Dakota. 2 statewide measures governing data centers are on record, alongside 1 local pause.
