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 facility in Glendale, Maricopa County, the first of four planned facilities on Aligned's 100-acre Glendale campus. The 100 acres cover the whole campus, so no land area is recorded for this facility. Coordinates are the Glendale area centroid. Data Center Dynamics reports that Aligned acquired 100 acres at 8785 N Reems Rd in December 2024 for $86.5M from LXP Industrial Trust, and also reports that PHX-13 is reportedly at 8805 N Reems Rd while another Aligned facility, PHX-07, is at 8785; as of October 2026, no cited source confirms that the purchase is the PHX-13 site. The $86.5M is land cost, not campus capex -> no investment figure is recorded. No job counts disclosed -> no job count is recorded. 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 -> no subsidy is recorded.

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.
