BrownfieldBeluga, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska · Chugach Electric Assn Inc
Beluga is a natural gas plant in Beluga, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, retired 2015-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 62 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
