Hartford CT Landfill (solar)
BrownfieldHartford, Connecticut
Hartford CT Landfill (solar) is a former landfill site in Hartford, Connecticut. 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.
