Manatee County LFGTE
BrownfieldBradenton, Manatee, Florida · Manatee County Utilities Department
Manatee County LFGTE is a natural gas plant in Bradenton, Manatee, Florida, retired 2019-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 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.
