Large Data Center Exceeds
Pendleton Power Capacity

PENDLETON, Ore. -- Pendleton doesn't have the power capacity for a large data center like the ones in Prineville or Google's operation in The Dalles.

But economic development consultants say the city could host a smaller data center, like one that would store files for businesses.

The limits of Pendleton's electricity generation will still keep the city powered for about 25 years.

But a major data center like those in other places in Oregon -- which use more electricity than Minnesota's Mall of America -- remains out of reach.

The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and the city had planned to split the cost of a $60,000 study the possibility of a data center, but the meeting discouraged them.
