Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 14, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Mission College 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-05: 43 diesel-fired emergency generators rated 2.5 MW each, arranged in two generation yards, plus two 600 kW house-power units, 78.1 MW total. Electricity is supplied by Silicon Valley Power through a new distribution substation the utility will build and operate on the northeast corner of the site.

Notes on the record

Two three-story data center buildings totalling 490,000 sq ft at Mission College Boulevard and Agnew Road. Operator is recorded as the applicant of record in both fetched filings; secondary reporting associates the site with Amazon Web Services, but no source fetched this session states that, so it is deliberately not asserted here.

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
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
  • How the community has received 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.
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.

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.
