Notice
Summary
Nasdaq ISE is changing how it charges for co-location services, which means companies that rent space in its data centers will pay based on power use instead of how packed their equipment cabinets are. This new pricing kicks in right away and aims to simplify fees while keeping installation charges the same. If you use Nasdaq’s data centers in New Jersey, get ready for a fresh, fairer fee setup starting now!
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Power-delivered Pricing: $550 per kVA
If your firm rents co-location space at Nasdaq ISE's Carteret, New Jersey data centers (NY11 or NY11-4), ongoing monthly cabinet charges are replaced by a uniform $550.00 per kVA monthly fee applied to each power circuit. Cabinet installation fees remain unchanged and the Half Cabinet offering is retained but its monthly fee is removed under the new rule.
Lower-density Users Get Fee Cuts
Customers using lower-density cabinet options can pay less under the new model; for example, a Low Density cabinet current monthly fee of $2,200 would map to a 2x20A 120V circuit at $1,320 (a 40% reduction), and a Medium Density example ($2,750) could move to $1,980 (about a 28% reduction). The filing shows multiple circuit examples and percent decreases for lower-density ranges.
High-density Users Face Increases
Customers using high power-density cabinets are likely to see higher monthly charges; for example, a Super High Density cabinet currently at $8,800 could map to a 60A 208V circuit billed at $11,888.45 (about a 35% increase) or to a 32A 415V circuit billed at $12,650.53 (about a 44% increase). The filing shows similar percentage increases for other high-density examples.
Pricing Change Effective Immediately
The Exchange filed the rule change on January 15, 2026 and the change became effective upon filing under the cited statutory provision; the SEC may suspend the change within 60 days and the public comment deadline is February 23, 2026. Firms that colocate at NY11/NY11-4 should expect the new $550 per kVA charges to apply now unless the Commission acts to suspend the filing.
