Power and water

APS is building a new 230 kV transmission line to serve the campus (DCNN); grid-sourced renewables, no on-site generation.

Aligned Delta-cube closed-loop air-cooling arrays with water recycling (no evaporative draw); DeltaFlow liquid cooling planned for dense AI workloads. A marketed '>73% water reduction' is versus the site's prior agricultural (rose-farm) use, not a data-center withdrawal figure -> no MGD recorded.

Notes on the record

PHX-13, a 72 MW campus in Glendale, Maricopa County. Coordinates are the Glendale area centroid. Land acquired for $86.5M (100 acres at 8785 N Reems Rd, Dec 2024, from LXP Industrial Trust) - land cost, not campus capex -> investmentUsd omitted. No job counts disclosed -> jobs honest-zero. The campus likely uses Arizona's statutory data-center TPT exemption (A.R.S. 41-1519), but no ACA certification or GPLET agreement for this campus is public -> subsidy honest-zero.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
Which document closes each gap
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
