Jose officials gave preliminary approval last week to what would 
be the world's largest "server farm." The sprawling facility to handle 
Internet traffic would drain about 150 megawatts of power from the state 
electricity grid. 
Santa Clara, which has two power plants within the city's limits, wants to 
build the four plants next to existing power substations at 1205 Space Park 
Drive and 2970 Lafayette St., and next to its two power plants at 525 Roberts 
St. and 2339 Gianera St. 
Their power capabilities would range from 50 to 130 megawatts. A 130-megawatt 
plant could provide power to 130,000 homes in the city, but 90 percent of the 
city's power goes to commercial and industrial customers.
