Snake River
BrownfieldNome, Nome, Alaska · Nome Joint Utility Systems
Snake River is a oil plant in Nome, Nome, Alaska, retired 2011-03-01. 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.
