SpaceX is preparing a massive data center campus in Cochise County, Arizona, revealed at a community meeting. The 747-acre site near the Apache Generating Station would host up to 9 SI data center buildings built across 4 phases, with power demand reaching up to 6GW — among the largest proposed campuses in the US. Plans include battery storage and dry cooling to cut water use; the application was filed under Tombstone Resources LLC, with a public hearing set for December 9. Concept art shows buildings sized at 700MW each within a 3500MW layout.
