BrownfieldBakersfield, Kern, California · Chevron USA Inc
Kern River Fee C Cogen is a natural gas plant in Bakersfield, Kern, California, retired 2011-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 8 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.
