- Source review · reviewed 2026-10-11: Prior source review (2026-10-09): The CEQAnet notice records April 28, 2026 authorization for six additional emergency diesel generators S-23 through S-28 serving SV18, application 738296; the notice was received May 7, 2026. This is an air authorization, not evidence of building operation or approval of SV19. The description’s introductory “seven” conflicts with the specific application and concluding authorization, which say six. Historical document addendum reviewed 2026-10-11: The CEC's May 20, 2022 closing memorandum states that the Great Oaks South small power plant exemption was granted December 8, 2021. December 10, 2021 is the docketing date of the Commission Final Decision, not the grant date. The adoption order was docketed December 9 and the Notice of Determination December 13. The captured docket log generated October 10, 2026 lists the May 2022 closure memo as its latest entry; this observation is limited to that log and does not establish construction completion or operation.

Provider notes
Energy. CEC Small Power Plant Exemption 20-SPPE-01: 36 diesel-fired standby generators rated 3.25 MW each plus three 0.5-MW life-safety generators, 99 MW total.
What the source record says
Three two-story buildings of 182,350 sq ft each at 123, 127 and 131 Great Oaks Boulevard, applicant SV1, LLC (a subsidiary of Equinix, LLC). Distinct parcel from Equinix's existing Great Oaks campus buildings already tracked (SV1/SV2/SV4/SV8/SV15). Status recorded as permitted because the fetched source establishes the exemption, not a build state.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2021-12-10 · source-reported permitted

Great Oaks South Data Center
- Publishing agency
- California Energy Commission
- Record type
- energy siting case
- Evidence scope
- Additional evidence for the Great Oaks South project covering three buildings at 123, 127 and 131 Great Oaks Boulevard. 123 is the matching address, not the whole project address or a selection of one building. No current operation, capacity or certification is established.
- Record identifiers
- 20-SPPE-01
- Named in the record
- SV1, LLC
What this record does not establish
- That a permit, certification, tax status, or application means an operating data center.
- Current IT capacity, utility load, or generation capacity.
- Who operates the site. A company named in the record is not the operator unless the record says so.
- Who owns the site.
- Cooling redundancy. Mentioned equipment is not a design rating.
- Whether the record covers one building, a campus, or a suite, beyond the unit label the record itself uses.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
