Energy and digital infrastructure, built together. Lancaster One is a proposed renewable-energy and advanced-technology campus in California's Antelope Valley, bringing together energy generation, storage and digital infrastructure within one coordinated development.
Lancaster One is being designed as an integrated campus combining renewable-energy generation, battery energy storage, advanced-technology facilities, digital infrastructure and supporting utility systems.
The project is planned to develop in phases, as supporting energy and infrastructure become available, with flexibility for evolving technologies and future users.
Solar energy generated across the project can be delivered to the technology campus, stored for later use or, where appropriate, exported through utility interconnections.
Four broad categories describe what the campus is intended to support.
Data processing, cloud computing, digital storage, communications and related computing functions.
High-performance computing, artificial intelligence training and inference, research and other advanced computing applications.
Research and development, technology integration, advanced manufacturing and related technology-oriented uses.
Workforce training, operations, maintenance, administration and supporting campus functions.
Solar generation, battery storage and a campus microgrid.
Photovoltaic solar generation is planned across multiple areas of the project, connected to battery storage, utility infrastructure and the technology campus.
Battery storage can capture renewable energy generated during the day for use in the evening and overnight, and helps balance load across the campus.
Renewable generation and storage will be combined with other energy resources to support continuous technology operations. The final system will be defined through engineering and review.
A campus microgrid is being planned to coordinate generation, storage and technology operations.
Substations, distribution infrastructure, monitoring and controls, and utility interconnections.
Energy can be managed across the campus as each phase is built, with reliability and resilience as the objective.
Lancaster One is being designed to provide the physical infrastructure that a growing range of computing and technology applications requires.
The technology campus will offer purpose-built buildings for computing equipment, together with the electrical, telecommunications, cooling and operational infrastructure that equipment needs.
A location shaped by energy, infrastructure and a long history of innovation.
Lancaster One is being developed in eastern Lancaster, within California's Antelope Valley.
One of the strongest solar resources in the country, with long, clear high-desert days.
Proximity to existing and planned utility infrastructure.
Land suited to large-scale infrastructure, planned with care for its surroundings.
A city with a long history in clean energy and an open approach to new industry.
Lancaster One is being planned as a long-term investment in energy, infrastructure, technology and economic activity within the Antelope Valley.
The City of Lancaster is the Lead Agency for environmental review of Lancaster One under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The review evaluates biological and cultural resources, water, air quality, transportation, noise and other considerations, and identifies mitigation measures where appropriate. Final project design will incorporate the measures identified through that process.
The technology campus is being planned around cooling approaches intended to use much less water than conventional evaporative cooling. The project would also transition land now used mainly for irrigated agriculture to renewable-energy and advanced-technology uses. Water supply and conservation will be evaluated through the environmental review.
Lancaster One is intended to support employment associated with renewable energy, infrastructure, technology, operations, maintenance, engineering, administration and workforce development.
Lancaster One brings together capabilities across energy, technology, infrastructure, engineering, finance and the public sector.
Generation, battery storage, electrical infrastructure and advanced energy technologies.
Organizations that will use the campus's computing and technology facilities.
Long-term institutional capital and the firms that build complex energy and technology infrastructure.
