ECL publicly announced CSC-1, a 35MW FlexGrid-powered AI data center in Santa Clara; first phase delivery targeted Q4 2026
Underlying source
Source notes
Exact street address not publicly disclosed. Coordinates are Santa Clara city centroid (approximate). Announced April 21, 2026. First phase targets Q4 2026 delivery. ECL CEO Yuval Bachar stated the project addresses SVP grid capacity constraints that have forced other data center developers into multi-year interconnection queues. Project targets AI training and inference workloads.
FlexGrid architecture combines SVP on-grid electricity with natural gas and hydrogen fuel cells behind the meter, bypassing SVP grid interconnection queue constraints. Sub-1.15 PUE target. Rack densities 75-270kW for AI high-density compute.
