BrownfieldValdez, Valdez Cordova, Alaska · Copper Valley Elec Assn, Inc
Valdez is a oil plant in Valdez, Valdez Cordova, Alaska, retired 2018-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 3 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.
