STACK Infrastructure (STACK) proposes to develop the Trade Zone Boulevard Technology Park (Trade Zone Park) which would include an Advanced Manufacturing Building (AMB), the SVY Data Center (SVYDC), a parking garage, and related utility infrastructure, which together constitute the “project” for CEQA analysis purposes. The Trade Zone Park would be located on two parcels of land at the corner of Trade Zone Boulevard and Ringwood Avenue in San Jose, California. The SVY Backup Generating Facility (SVYBGF) would be an emergency backup generating facility with a generation capacity of up to 91 megawatts (MW) to support the need for the SVYDC to provide uninterruptible power supply for its tenant’s servers. The SVYBGF would consist of thirty-six (36) 3-MW and (3) 1-MW diesel-fired backup generators arranged in two generation yards, each designed to serve one of the two data center buildings (SVYDC 05 and SVYDC 06) that make up the SVYDC. One of the 1-MW diesel backup generators would be installed near the southwest corner of the AMB. All of the generators would be dedicated to replace the electricity needs of the data center buildings and the emergency needs of the AMB in case of a loss of utility power (with redundancy).

Small Power Plant Exemption
The CEC Small Power Plant Exemption (SPPE) process allows applicants proposing thermal power plants between 50 and 100 MW to obtain an exemption from the CEC’s jurisdiction and proceed with local permitting rather than requiring CEC certification. The CEC can grant an exemption if it finds that the proposed facility will not create a substantial adverse impact on the environment or energy resources. These facilities were exempted from the CEC’s jurisdiction.
