BrownfieldBethel, Bethel, Alaska · Alaska Village Elec Coop, Inc
Bethel is a oil plant in Bethel, Bethel, Alaska, retired 2024-05-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 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.
