Perdido
BrownfieldPensacola, Escambia, Florida · Florida Power & Light Co
Perdido is a natural gas plant in Pensacola, Escambia, Florida. 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.
