Sierra Nevada Brewing Co Hybrid
BrownfieldChico, Butte, California · Sierra Nevada Brewing Co
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co Hybrid is a natural gas plant in Chico, Butte, California, retired 2015-05-01. 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.
