Shipman
BrownfieldHilo, Hawaii, Hawaii · Hawaii Electric Light Co Inc
Shipman is a oil plant in Hilo, Hawaii, Hawaii, retired 2015-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 19 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.
