Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of August 2, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over ScaleMatrix San Diego in San Diego, San Diego 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.
Notes on the record
ScaleMatrix's own site discloses '5MW aggregate availability; 20MW+ utility upgrade capacity' - the widely-repeated flat '20MW' figure on aggregator sites is the future upgrade ceiling, not installed/operational capacity; cross-validated by an independent SDG&E-sourced interconnection record showing <10MW. A May 2026 expansion added 46,000 sq ft to the ~50,000 sq ft Kearny Mesa campus (~96,000 sq ft total) - this 'doubling' is square footage, not MW capacity. aiClassification set to 'likely': ScaleMatrix markets GPU-as-a-Service explicitly for HPC/deep learning/AI workloads, and this San Diego site is confirmed as the location of a ScaleMatrix/HPE 'Hybrid HPC Center of Excellence.' Address confirmed via a Washington-state LLC filing and parcel records; this is the company's headquarters campus, operating since approximately 2011-2012 in the Kearny Mesa neighborhood of the City of San Diego.
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
- Land area
- How the community has received it
- Which utility serves it
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.
- 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.

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.
