A county judge ruled last month that Sebastian Rucci's proposed 1-million-square-foot AI datacenter in Imperial County cannot proceed until it clears an extensive environmental review.
Rucci had sought a CEQA exemption and secured 330 megawatts of electricity for the site, and he said Google had expressed interest as tenant. Google said it is "not involved in a datacenter project in Imperial county."
