Phoenix, AZ · SRP Election · April 7, 2026

NOT OUR WATER

Arizona faces its worst drought in 1,200 years.* Meanwhile, SRP is handing Big Tech data centers discounted power - subsidized by you. An SRP board candidate sold 240 acres to a data center company for $246.8 million after using that land to cast decisive votes in an SRP election.

The Salt River Project board election is on April 7th, with early voting starting March 11th. SRP elections are mail-ballot only - request your ballot now →

Depth 01 · The Numbers

They consume.
You pay.

Your power bill vs. theirs
41%
less than what you pay. Data centers get industrial electricity rates averaging 7.89¢/kWh versus your 13.34¢/kWh.*
SRP power grid strain
7,000+
megawatts of data center requests in SRP's pipeline. More than double SRP's entire generation capacity.**
Projected water consumption · by 2031
3.7B
gallons of water per year consumed by data centers. In a state that banned new home construction to preserve groundwater.***
* U.S. Energy Information Administration, average AZ industrial vs residential rates
** SRP public filings, data center interconnection requests
*** APM Research Lab, Stanford & the West, Phoenix New Times reporting
"Arizona banned new home construction in the Phoenix area to preserve groundwater - while guaranteeing Google enough water for 13,000 households every single day."

What We Support

Fair rates.
Our water.
No more blank checks.

  1. 01

    Reduce the rate discount

    Data centers shouldn't get sweetheart deals on water and power while residential customers bear the full cost. Narrow the gap between industrial and residential rates so billion-dollar companies pay their fair share.

  2. 02

    Require zero-water cooling

    CyrusOne runs 8 facilities in Chandler with zero-water cooling. Microsoft is piloting it. If the technology exists, make it the standard - not a PR talking point.

  3. 03

    No grid build-out on customer dimes

    If data centers need SRP to double its generation capacity, data centers should pay for the infrastructure - not residential customers through higher bills.

  4. 04

    No data centers on taxpayer's dime

    In 2013, the Arizona Legislature cut taxes for data centers, shifting the burden to taxpayers. No more public subsidies - no tax abatements, no water guarantees, no sweetheart infrastructure deals - until independent impact studies are complete.

  5. 05

    Community benefit agreements

    If a data center wants to operate here, it should invest here. Local hiring, infrastructure contributions, and community fund commitments - in writing, before permitting.
