BrownfieldWalnut, Los Angeles, California · Los Angeles County Sanitation
Spadra Landfill Gas to Energy is a natural gas plant in Walnut, Los Angeles, California, retired 2015-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 11 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.
