Delaware City Plant
BrownfieldDelaware City, New Castle, Delaware · Delaware City Refining Company LLC
Delaware City Plant is a natural gas plant in Delaware City, New Castle, Delaware, retired 1997-10-01. 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.
