Energy Generation and Technology Campus
Maricopa, Pinal County, AZ
Energy Generation and Technology Campus is a planned data center in Maricopa, AZ, with W Holdings named as the developer. 500-acre data center + energy campus northeast of White-and-Parker and Teel roads, south of Maricopa in Pinal County, abutting the Ak-Chin Indian Community's southern boundary. Pinal County Board of Supervisors approved a land-use amendment (~$10B project, 1,000 permanent jobs) in late 2025/2026; the adjacent Griffin Energy solar/BESS project (Copia Power) would supply up to 550MW, plus a planned 500MW gas plant, but the data center's own MW capacity is not separately confirmed, so left null. Press coverage (Pinal Post/12news) also references a similarly located 'Copia Energy Project' (656 acres) near Teel Road bordering Ak-Chin — likely the same or a directly adjacent site under a different name; not entered separately to avoid double-counting.
