Project Blue

PRJ-1159 · Site · Tucson, Arizona, United States

Record last updated Oct 28, 2026

Scope and capacity

Project Blue is Beale Infrastructure’s data-center campus on approximately 290 acres north of the Pima County Fairgrounds in unincorporated Pima County, Arizona. The developer acquired the County land on December 24, 2025. County materials describe approximately ten buildings and up to $3.6 billion in planned capital investment. The Arizona Corporation Commission approved Tucson Electric Power’s electric-service agreement in December 2025 for an initial 286 MW of utility service. Beale’s current project timeline records a first-quarter 2026 construction start and targets phase-one completion in 2028. The developer describes an air-cooled, closed-loop design and estimates average water use of 15,000–20,000 gallons per day, primarily for domestic building needs and fire protection. Beale’s current project listing describes an expected capacity of 600 MW; the listing does not specify whether this is IT or gross facility capacity. This is separate from the initial 286 MW electric-service agreement.
