Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 14, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over EdgeCore Silicon Valley Campus (Laurelwood Data Center) in Santa Clara, Santa Clara County, California 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.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Power and water

CEC Small Power Plant Exemption 19-SPPE-01 (Laurelwood Data Center, applicant MECP1 Santa Clara 1, LLC): 56 standby diesel-fired generators rated 3.0 MW each and an on-site 60 kV substation, for a maximum electrical load of 99 MW.

Operator describes "generator-backed air cooling and adiabatic dry coolers" with support for direct-to-chip liquid-cooled servers, and states a WUE below 0.01. Classified hybrid because adiabatic dry coolers alternate between dry and evaporatively-assisted operation.

Notes on the record

Two data center buildings totalling over 540,000 sq ft. The CEQA filing gives the site as 13 acres between Juliette Lane and Laurelwood Road; the operator's page says 12 acres, recorded neither as landAcres because the two sourced figures disagree.

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

  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
  • How the community has received it
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area
The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
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.
