Largest proposed data center in Arizona to be scaled back 80% after opposition

The proposed La Osa data center and energy campus in Pinal County, Arizona, will be scaled back by 80% from its original plan of 59 data centers to 11, following significant opposition from local residents. The Pinal County Board of Supervisors postponed a decision on Vermaland's rezoning and site planning request until August 2026, requesting more specific details about the reduced project. Concerns were raised about energy demand and the potential impact on power bills.
