TESLA Power Project

Brownfield

Not yet established, Alameda, California · Pacific Gas & Electric Co.

Legacy capacity
1,322
MW

TESLA Power Project is a natural gas plant in Not yet established, Alameda, California. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1,322 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.

Why this site is datacenter-attractive: a natural gas plant of this scale leaves behind a high-capacity grid interconnection that a new load can re-use, frequently shaving years off the interconnection queue. Retired-plant sites also tend to be already zoned for heavy industrial use with established road, rail, and water infrastructure.

Dataset updated . Screening estimates derived from public data sources.

Brownfield attributes are derived from EIA retired-generator and EPA public data. Existing capacity reflects the retired plant's historical nameplate, not deliverable interconnection for a new load. Confirm reusable interconnection rights, remediation status, and site availability with the utility, ISO, and current owner.
