Greene Valley Gas Recovery
BrownfieldNaperville, DuPage, Illinois · WM Illinois Renewable Energy LLC
Greene Valley Gas Recovery is a natural gas plant in Naperville, DuPage, Illinois, retired 2010-02-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 3 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.
