  • Closed session — Conference With Legal Counsel — Anticipated Litigation Significant exposure to litigation — Claimant: 1220 Santa Clara Propco, LLC (STACK Infrastructure, Inc.).  Stack is a data center seeking damages connected to Silicon Valley Power’s alleged inability to provide adequate power to the facility. “In sum, SVP failed to make good on its original promise to meet STACK’s needs notwithstanding the Substation Agreement’s terms and then its failure, as promised in the Substation Agreement, to even deliver the reduced amount of capacity stated there. As a result, STACK’s ability to lease SVY02’s data halls now or in the future has been severely compromised. The facility is ready for use, but potential customers have not leased the available data hall space given continuing uncertainty about SVP’s ability to make good on its representations regarding capacity. Thus, STACK has a substantial claim for damages for lost lease payments both now and in the future and other damages to be proven … at trial should a lawsuit be necessary, STACK estimates that the leasing delays thus far have cost STACK in excess of $13 million for every 6 MW of capacity SVP is unable to serve as originally promised … In addition to the substantial claim for damages, STACK will also be seeking reimbursement for costs intended to mitigate its damages. In that vein, STACK is considering the installation of onsite generation to make up for some of the current capacity shortfall that was previously promised by SVP which is estimated to cost in excess of $50 million over five years.”
