MDC ELP1 El Paso Data Center

TYPE3’s map data lists MDC El Paso - ELP1 as an announced retail/network-colocation facility operated by MDC Data Centers at 11455 Cedar Oak Drive, with `0 MW`. MDC’s official English ELP1 page verifies the address and positions the site as a growing border interconnection hub. It describes a carrier-neutral facility connected to International Fiber Crossings and hosting MEX-IX, with a communications tower and a network ecosystem that includes Lumen, Arelion, Cogent, Zayo, FiberLight, Sparkle, and others.

The same English page publishes electrical layers: 500 kVA electrical capacity, 480-volt utility, 500 KVA emergency power, 20-minute battery backup, N+1 CRAC cooling, FM200/CO2 suppression, and 48 hours of generator autonomy with a full tank. The Spanish ELP1 page presents a different set of generator and autonomy details, including a 500 kW diesel generator and 90 hours. Because both are MDC pages and the figures are not aligned, the source ledger preserves the conflict instead of selecting a value silently.

A City of El Paso license record documents McAllen Data Center’s acquisition condition and fiber use at the address, adding historical evidence for the operator’s El Paso presence. The supported positioning is network and border-market relevance, not a wholesale campus. Utility capacity, emergency generation, battery duration, and cooling redundancy remain separate key facts. The listed zero is an unreported IT-load field, not evidence of zero consumption, and neither official page provides a customer-specific curtailment or measured operating-load program.
