Portola
BrownfieldPortola, Plumas, California · Sierra Pacific Power Co
Portola is a oil plant in Portola, Plumas, California, retired 2007-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 6 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.
