WRITTEN REQUEST
Karen Hardu , hereby request that the following item
be placed on the City of Santa Clara Council and Authorities Concurrent meeting agenda:
Request that staff provide the City Council and the public with a status update on the entitlement and power allocation processes for new large electrical load uses, including data centers, within 30 days.
As the community that owns and operates its own electric utility, Santa Clara is uniquely affected by the growth of these large loads. It's important that the community understand how large electrical load users and data centers impact our local community.
