BrownfieldMadison, Somerset, Maine · Eagle Creek Renewable Energy, LLC
Anson Abenaki Hydros is a natural gas plant in Madison, Somerset, Maine, retired 2016-05-01. 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.
