Is a Data Center Coming

Pinal County, AZ

Energy Generation and Technology Campus

W Holdings. Approved.

Pinal County supervisors unanimously approved a land-use amendment for a roughly 400-acre Energy Generation and Technology Campus near State Route 347 and Louis Johnson Drive south of the city of Maricopa, developed by Tempe-based W Holdings. The roughly 10 billion dollar project pairs a data center with a battery energy storage system and a natural gas power plant, and is projected to use about 500 acre-feet of water a year, less than the housing or farming uses previously approved for the same land.
