This is a proposed or under-construction project. It is not operating capacity, and announced projects do sometimes change scope or fail to proceed.
Capacity: Operator's own figure: whole campus. Compass: a 108 MW campus. The source does not say what the figure measures.

City staff wrote that the Compass companies that own the site are developing it, and that the agreement lets Compass obtain certificates of occupancy before road improvements along Peoria Avenue are finished.
Compass Datacenters PHX II, PHX IIA, PHX IIB and PHX IIC are the owners of APN 501-45-980C, 980D, 980E and 980F, respectively, and are currently developing the site.
This Development Agreement allows Compass to obtain Certificates of Occupancy prior to the completion of the off-site improvements due to the power poles.
City of El Mirage reports of issued permits list a January 2026 permit for new construction of the PHX II core and shell, 208,000 square feet, and permits through September 2026 for work on Buildings A, B and C.

The August 2026 permit for Building A's critical power describes three 12 MW data halls in that building.
THERE IS A TOTAL OF 90 WHITE SPACE MODULES AND 312 ATSS IN BUILDING A THROUGHOUT THE THREE 12MW DATA HALLS.
These remarks are Arizona AI's own. They say how this record is counted or what we could not find, so there is no outside page to link.
None of these permits shows a completion date in the reports through September 2026, so the campus stays with the announced projects.
