CAISO data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/serverfarm-lax1

Serverfarm LAX1 is a facility data center in El Segundo, Los Angeles County, CA. Serverfarm LLC is identified as the operator, and the facility is operating. Spatial service-territory evidence associates the site with Southern California Edison; the profile assigns the asset to CAISO through that documented market role. Reported development, power, and commercial facts retain their source-specific facility, campus, building, or phase scope; the page does not collapse those values into a single implied load.

## Data quality

- Downgraded provider news from exact-site scope because identity and location proof were incomplete: Community members spoke out at a recent planning commission meeting in opposition to a planned data center on Nash St.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
