R&L Capital: RBIDC

Site planned for 2028 and has expansions through 2029

Lot Size: 50 acres

The RB Inyokern Data Center is a proposed single-story data center on a roughly 50-acre site in Inyokern, an unincorporated area of Kern County, California, developed by R&L Capital. The design includes six data halls using both liquid and air cooling, a dedicated on-site substation fed by Southern California Edison, and diesel backup generation with on-site fuel storage. The project is under review by the California Energy Commission through a Small Power Plant Exemption and has drawn substantial local opposition, particularly over its projected groundwater use in the water-stressed Indian Wells Valley basin, alongside concerns from a nearby naval installation, the local airport, and area residents. As of the most recent reporting, construction had not begun.
