AVAIO Pittsburg Backup Generating Facility

AVAIO Pittsburg Backup Generating Facility

AVAIO Infrastructure (applicant) is proposing to construct and operate the AVAIO Pittsburg Backup Generating Facility to provide emergency backup power to the proposed Pittsburg Data Hub. Collectively, the PBGF and the PDH comprise the “project.” The main component of the PDH would be a three-story 347,740 square foot data center building that would house computer servers for private clients in a secure and environmentally controlled structure. The data center building would consist of two main components; the data center suites that would house client servers, and the administrative facilities including support facilities such as the building lobby, restrooms, conference rooms, landlord office space, customer office space, loading dock and storage. The data center suite components would consist of three levels of data center space. Each level would contain two (2) data center suites and corresponding electrical/uninterruptible power supply rooms. The data center is being designed with an average rack power rating of 10 kilowatts (kW). The data center is expected to have between 20 and 30 employees and 12-15 visitors (including deliveries) visit the site per day. The PBGF would be an emergency backup generating facility with a generation capacity of up to 92 MW to support the need for the data center to provide uninterruptible power supply for its tenants’ servers. The PBGF would consist of thirty-seven (37) 3-MW diesel-fired backup generators arranged in a generation yard located on the west side of the PDH. Thirty-six (36) of the generators would be dedicated to replace the electricity needs of the data center in case of a loss of utility power, and one of the generators would be used to support general office loads along with building and life safety services (house generator).
