Lawsuit Filed Over Environmental Compliance of San Antonio Data Centers
What happened
Three environmental groups, including the Environmental Integrity Project, filed a federal lawsuit in San Antonio regarding data center campuses and their associated power plants. The suit alleges that the facilities were developed without required permits, adequate pollution-control technology, or public input. The power plants, which are operated by VoltaGrid, have a combined capacity of 405 megawatts, and backup diesel generators could add 455 megawatts of generation capacity.
