Santa Rita Jail Hybrid
BrownfieldDublin, Alameda, California · County of Alameda GSA
Santa Rita Jail Hybrid is a natural gas plant in Dublin, Alameda, California, retired 2013-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
