Provider notes
Energy. Plan pairs data centers with an on-site natural gas power plant and battery energy storage. The applicant told the commission the campus would be powered primarily by the Griffin Energy Project (solar, gas and battery). No MW figure has been stated publicly.
Water. Applicant projects roughly 500 acre-feet of water use annually. Cooling method not stated.
Community. The Ak-Chin Indian Community, whose southern boundary abuts the site, opposes the location. Vice-chairwoman Delia Carlyle cited a high concentration of cultural artifacts and concern that ground disturbance would affect ancestral remains, while saying the community does not oppose development generally.
What the source record says
Located south of the City of Maricopa, east of State Route 347 and west of the Nissan test track, abutting the southern boundary of the Ak-Chin Indian Community. Investment is recorded as the itemized $4B construction plus $5.5B equipment figure presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission; a separate report rounds the total to $10B. Acreage is also reported as 500 and, in one account, 656 acres. Some coverage associates the site with Copia Power; the applicant of record in commission and board coverage is W Holdings, represented by the same attorney who has appeared for Copia projects, so the corporate relationship is not established here.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
