Desert View Power
BrownfieldMecca, Riverside, California · Desert View Power Inc
Desert View Power is a former biomass site in Mecca, Riverside, California, retired 2024-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 56 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.
