BrownfieldCordova, Valdez Cordova, Alaska · Cordova Electric Coop, Inc
Orca is a oil plant in Cordova, Valdez Cordova, Alaska, retired 2024-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 7 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.
