Takanock is proposing a $937 million project in Surprise, Arizona, which includes a 700 MW gas-fired power plant and a 160-acre data center to meet rising energy demands. While the project has received a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility, allowing it to bypass certain regulatory hurdles, it faces community opposition due to concerns about air pollution and safety risks associated with its proximity to Luke Air Force Base. If approved, the project could create 100 jobs and generate $50 million in tax revenue for Maricopa County, with construction slated to begin this fall.
