Power and water

Trico Electric Cooperative to provide 550-750MW to the north parcel; Tucson Electric Power to provide a 'matching amount' to the south parcel (combined range roughly 1,100-1,500MW; no single confirmed total given, so omitted from capacityMw).

Notes on the record

Two parcels along Luckett Road: north parcel owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (borders Pinal County); south parcel owned by the Kai Family Trust. Fremont Peak Properties LLC (also referenced as 'Humphrey's Peak Properties' in some coverage) is a subsidiary of Beale Infrastructure, backed by Blue Owl Capital; connected to, but a distinct site from, the separately-tracked 'Project Blue' Beale/Blue Owl effort in unincorporated Pima County near Tucson, and from Beale's separately-tracked Project Pilot in De Soto, KS. Developer projects ~400 permanent and ~4,200 temporary construction jobs (Chamber of Southern Arizona estimate) - not yet delivered, so omitted from the jobs field. No explicit AI/GPU branding found in coverage; classified 'likely' given Blue Owl Capital's profile as a major AI-datacenter-era infrastructure investor. Coordinates are approximate for the Luckett Road parcels.
