BrownfieldBucksport, Hancock, Maine · Bucksport Generation LLC
Bucksport Generation LLC is a natural gas plant in Bucksport, Hancock, Maine, retired 2018-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 112 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.
