Power and water

Iron Mountain states 26 MVA of redundant operational power supporting 16 MW of customer IT load, and markets the facility as running on 100% clean energy. The generation source behind that claim is not identified. The operator describes diverse utility feeds and renewable energy matched to its operations, so the energy source is recorded as grid supply.

Notes on the record

150,000 sq ft. Classified a "telecom hub" rather than "data center" under Miami-Dade county code. Opens 2026.

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.

Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised

Which document closes each gap

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.
