Tucson Electric Power is trying to get approval to provide power to a data center development in Pima County just weeks after Tucson blocked Project Blue.
Pima County Supervisor Andrés Cano said that TEP and developer Beale Infrastructure are attempting to get around the Tucson City Council vote that blocked the project.
The development faced local uproar over water and energy consumption.
In the Monday filing, TEP asked the Arizona Corporation Commission to approve its energy request for a 290-acre data center development that would consume 286 megawatts of energy.
The request does not say where the data center would be built in Pima County.
Commission Chair Kevin Thompson posted public comments in the related docket asking the panel to reject the request.
