Richmond Refinery TG800
BrownfieldRichmond, Contra Costa, California · Chevron Products Company-Richmond
Richmond Refinery TG800 is a natural gas plant in Richmond, Contra Costa, California, retired 2006-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 21 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.
