Microsoft purchased a 65-acre site for this purpose and has requested transmission-level service. Upgrades include the installation of a 115-kilovolt transmission line and enhancements at the Los Esteros Substation. The data center is expected to operate year-round, commencing operations in January 2027. Microsoft will contribute to some of the costs involved with the power upgrades, specifically for dedicated backup services.
