Wheelabrator North Broward
BrownfieldPompano Beach, Broward, Florida · WM Renewable Energy LLC
Wheelabrator North Broward is a former waste site in Pompano Beach, Broward, Florida, retired 2015-07-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 68 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.
