California research coverage.

• The GO-Biz California Business Portal incentives page (CA-S0037) could not be read: TLS handshake failure.
• California Competes Tax Credit award lists were not opened, so any data center recipients there are unknown.
• No county or city enterprise-zone, community-benefit or fee-credit programme was surveyed.

• PG&E's Electric Rule 30 transmission-interconnection application and its interim approval of 24 July 2025 were identified in search results but not opened.
• No Silicon Valley Power electric service agreement, large-load tariff or City of Santa Clara council agenda report was read; the city web server blocked the projects listing (CA-S0038).
• SMUD, LADWP, Vernon Public Utility and Pittsburg Power Company large-load records were not searched.
• CAISO and utility interconnection queues were not examined.

• SCAQMD and SMAQMD permit databases were not searched at all, so Los Angeles basin and Sacramento generator permits are missing.
• BAAQMD's own permit and public-notice database was not queried directly; only two BAAQMD documents reached through CEQAnet and the air district's CEQA letters directory were read.
• Water withdrawal, discharge and stormwater construction general permit notices were not searched.
• CEC opt-in certification and Application for Certification cases above 100 MW were not enumerated; one such certification is reported for the AVAIO Pittsburg site and was not read.

• CEQAnet's free-text query parameter is not honoured by the server on a plain GET, so no systematic keyword sweep of California CEQA documents for 'data center' was possible (CA-S0033).
• The City of Santa Clara web server returned HTTP 403 (CA-S0038), so no Santa Clara planning file numbers or Silicon Valley Power agreements were read for the ten-plus Santa Clara projects in this packet.
• No county assessor or GIS parcel portal was queried for any California county; every parcel number here comes from a CEC or CEQAnet description.
• San Jose's Legistar council record, where the Prologis STEM Park item would sit, was not reached.
• Los Angeles, Irvine, El Segundo, Vernon, Newark, Fremont, Sacramento, San Diego and Imperial County planning portals were not searched.

Source references:

• No executed development agreement, ground lease or community benefits agreement document was opened.
• The San Jose exclusive negotiating agreement or ground lease for the city-owned STEM Park parcel was not located on the city site.
• Redevelopment successor agency and infrastructure financing district records were not searched.

• Microsoft, Google, Meta, Oracle and Apple location disclosures were not opened; the Microsoft sites here come from CEC and CEQAnet records instead.
• Colocation operator location pages (Equinix, Digital Realty, CoreSite, STACK, Prime, NTT, Centersquare, Cologix, EdgeConneX, QTS, Serverfarm, Csquare, T5, DataBank, ScaleMatrix) were not fetched; their facilities here rest on the Compute Atlas extract.
• No operator sustainability or investor filing was checked for California-specific capacity.

Source references: CA-S0034, CA-S0035

• Data Center Map was not opened (CA-S0035); no directory listing was used as evidence.
• Compute Atlas leads not individually examined beyond the extract fields were not turned into candidates, including most Equinix, Digital Realty, Csquare, EdgeConneX, Lumen and CoreSite entries.
• No cross-check against FracTracker, Baxtel, datacenters.com, Cloudscene or PeeringDB was attempted.

Source references: CA-S0028, CA-S0039

• No City of Coachella ordinance, resolution or minutes could be read, so the agreement termination and the reported permanent data center prohibition rest on a dataset lead only.
• The City of Monterey Park letter documenting the 1977 Saturn Street cancellation timed out (CA-S0039).
• Older California closures and demolitions — 1990s and 2000s carrier hotels, Herakles, Above.net and Savvis-era sites, and any data center lost to redevelopment — were not searched.
• No archived or Wayback retrieval was attempted for retired operator pages.

Source references:

• The Little Hoover Commission report and the Assembly oversight hearing materials were not read.
• No systematic sweep of California local news for data center moratoria was done; moratoria are reported in Coachella and Imperial County and neither was confirmed from a government record.
