Coachella Technology Campus Data Center

proposed

Stronghold Power Systems proposes a massive "Technology Campus" data center project in Coachella, covering 240 acres with six data center buildings totaling approximately 3 million square feet. The project includes a rated capacity of 270 to 300 megawatts, serving as the anchor tenant for the proposed Coachella Municipal Utility, and features dedicated microgrids using fuel cells and battery storage. The project aims to generate $21 million in annual revenue and create hundreds of jobs but faces community concerns about water scarcity, rising utility costs, heat and pollution, and proximity to residential areas and schools.
