La Osa Project (Vermaland)
Vermaland LLC. Denied. 1000 MW.
Vermaland's La Osa project would have put a data center and power complex across 3,385 acres south of Eloy along the Greene Canal and Santa Cruz Wash. After sustained resident opposition, the developer cut the plan from 59 buildings and up to 3 gigawatts down to about 11 buildings capped at 1 gigawatt with water and cost concessions, but the Pinal County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 on August 26, 2026 to deny the rezoning after nearly five hours of public comment, with 123 letters opposed versus 16 in support.

What it would mean nearby
The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 1000 MW facility would draw roughly 3.2 million to 11.4 million gallons of water a day, about what 36,500 households use.
