Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Source notes
Unincorporated Maricopa County near Surprise, AZ, north of Luke AFB. Construction targeted Q3 2026, first building online 2028. Coordinates are approximate. Coordinates corrected 2026-08-31 to the filed parcel (501-43-016A) in the southwest quarter of Section 28, Township 3 North, Range 1 West. The previously stored point fell roughly 8.2 miles NNW, in a different township. The 160-acre parcel holds the turbine yard, the data center buildings and the APS substation together, so a single approximate point represents the whole campus.
~700MW on-site natural gas generation. Still needs EPA air-quality sign-off.
