Document Description
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) has issued an Authority to Construct for the Mclaren Backup Generating Facility (MBGF) for four additional backup diesel generators. The MBGF provides emergency backup power for the Mclaren Data Center (MDC). The MDC consists of three four-story, 175,000-180,000 ft2 data center buildings and a paved parking lot on a 9-acre site. The MBGF consists of 15 to 20 diesel-fired backup generators for each data center building to provide emergency backup power for the buildings' servers in the event of a power outage and also one additional generator for each building to provide emergency power for
fire suppression and other life safety systems. The four new diesel-fired backup generators will be for Building CA23. The Air District has already issued Authority to Constructs for SO existing backup diesel engines supporting the three data center buildings. This Authority to Construct authorizes Vantage to install four additional 4043-horsepower emergency backup power generators. These generators will be operated only for emergency purposes, plus up to 37 hours per year for testing, maintenance and reliability purposes. They will not be used for routine data center operations. In addition, the existing permitted generators will have their permit
1/2 conditions changed to reduce the non-emergency use hours for testing, maintenance and reliability from SO to 37 hours per year.
