Sola Optical USA, INC. (Cowgirl Creamery)
BrownfieldPetaluma, California
Sola Optical USA, INC. (Cowgirl Creamery) is a former superfund site in Petaluma, California. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 0 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.
