West Phoenix
BrownfieldPhoenix, Maricopa, Arizona · Arizona Public Service Co
West Phoenix is a natural gas plant in Phoenix, Maricopa, Arizona, retired 2002-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 120 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.
