Who decides on data centers near Coronado

A data center needs a yes from several bodies at once: the land-use board that rezones the site, the elected council or commission that approves incentives and agreements, the utility that sells the power, the state commission that regulates that utility, and the agencies that permit water and air. Names below come from the official pages linked on each card.

State utility regulator

California Public Utilities Commission

Five commissioners appointed by the governor regulate PG&E, Southern California Edison, SDG&E and set rules for large-load interconnection.

Power & water providers

Which utility serves a given site depends on its address. Large-load power contracts are negotiated with the serving utility and, for regulated utilities, approved by the state commission.
