Tucson Electric Power, Arizona
Project Blue data center energy service agreement
Approved Rate matter before the Arizona Corporation Commission.
No residential dollar figure published yet
The filing does not state a typical-bill impact we can verify. We will add one when the commission staff or the consumer advocate publishes it.
The Arizona Corporation Commission approved TEP's contract to serve the 286 MW Project Blue data center near Tucson on a 4 to 1 vote in December 2025, over two hours of public opposition centered on water use. TEP says the data center pays the standard largest-customer rate with minimum bills and termination fees so the buildout cost stays off residential bills.
What it means for your bill: This is a service contract, not a residential rate change. The protections in it exist to keep the cost of serving the data center from shifting onto Tucson homes; whether they hold is the thing to watch in TEP's future rate cases.
