Geneva Generation Facility
BrownfieldGeneva, Kane, Illinois · City of Geneva- (IL)
Geneva Generation Facility is a oil plant in Geneva, Kane, Illinois, retired 2011-11-01. 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.
