Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 28, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Volo Data Center in Volo, Lake County, Illinois appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Power and water

A 14 MW power supply, source not stated, plus a planned on-site Bloom Energy fuel-cell/microgrid buildout (scheduled for commissioning by the third quarter of 2025 per a July 2024 article; MW not disclosed).

Notes on the record

160,000 sq ft leased facility; tenant is CoreWeave, Inc. (public GPU/AI-cloud compute provider) -- every source frames this explicitly as an AI data center supporting AI computing operations. 14 MW is the disclosed power supply (the articles do not name its source), not an IT capacity figure, so no operational capacity is recorded; a planned on-site Bloom Energy fuel-cell/microgrid buildout was targeted for Q3 2025 commissioning but its MW capacity is not disclosed in any source found and is omitted (a distinct figure from the 14 MW supply, not additive to it here). Acreage (~50 acres) and the exact street address/postal code are corroborated only via a single aggregator/cached-search path (Data Center Dynamics coverage of the site's HSBC/Capital One former-tenant history could not be retrieved), so they are single-path and not independently cross-verified; treat address/acreage as approximate. Former site occupant: HSBC (built ~2007), later Capital One (acquired HSBC's US card operations, 2012), vacant and auctioned ~2023 before Chirisa's redevelopment. As of August 2026, no SEC filing or Bloom Energy investor press release had been located to corroborate, and neither is cited as a source. The investment and jobs figures are the commitments listed for Chirisa Volo LLC's 2023 agreement in the Illinois DCEO Data Center Investment Program 2025 Annual Report: a $262,000,000 investment and 20 new jobs.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

Power capacity in megawatts
Cooling method and water use
How the community has received it
Which utility serves it

Which document closes each gap

Power capacity in megawatts: The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Cooling method and water use: The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
How the community has received it: Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
