Notes on the record

Global Stack LLC (Santa Ana-based) proposed an approximately 5-acre data center described as an 'emergency preparedness hub,' reported at 8 to 10 MW, on the Solano County Fairgrounds. Part of a stated company plan to add small-scale data centers to 70+ California fairgrounds by 2030. No capacity is recorded because the source gives a range (8-10 MW), not a single figure. In July 2026, the Fair Association's CEO said the item "will not be re-calendared" and that "there is no pending development proposal"; the record is listed as cancelled.

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

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • 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.
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.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
