PHOENIX — Microsoft announced it will build three data center campuses in Arizona to support growing demand for cloud and internet services in the West.
The technology giant intends to develop two of the campuses in Goodyear and one in El Mirage, both in suburban Phoenix. It says all three will be powered with 100 percent renewable energy.
Tempe-based First Solar will develop the solar project that will power the centers.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey attended Tuesday’s news conference on the data facilities. He says the centers will create 110 jobs, including mechanical and electrical engineers and data technicians.
