STACK Trade Zone Park, (State Clearinghouse #2022060141} -Issuance of Authority to Construct for Emergency Backup Diesel Generators, sources S-35 through S-73.

STACK Infrastructure submitted an application to the California Energy Commission (CEC) for a small powerplant exemption for the proposed Trade Zone Park in San Jose, California. The Applicant proposed to build one office building, two data center buildings and a 91 MW backup generating facility to provide uninterruptible power supply for its tenant's servers.The Application was submitted to the CEC pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 25541. Section 25541 allows the CEC to exempt thermal powerplants with a generating capacity of up to 100 MW from its exclusive permitting authority under the Warren-Aiquist State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Act (Warren-Aiquist Act) to approve or deny, applications for the construction and operation of thermal powerplants that will generate 50 MW or more of electricity. This exemption is referred to as a Small Power Plant Exemption (SPPE). It was found that the Backup Generators constitute the thermal powerplant at issue, they have a combined generating capacity of 99 MW, and no substantial adverse impact on the environment or energy resources will result from the construction or operation of the Backup Generators or the Data Center. The project includes the installation of thirty-six 4,423 HP, two 1,474 HP, and one 315 HP, a total of thirty-nine, emergency backup power generators to support data storage equipment. The proposed 39-standby generators will be in two generation yards, each designed to serve one of the two data center buildings.
