Keahole
BrownfieldKailua Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii · Hawaii Electric Light Co Inc
Keahole is a oil plant in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii, retired 2004-05-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 8 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.
