Mead Rumford Cogen
BrownfieldRumford, Oxford, Maine · ND Paper, Inc.
Mead Rumford Cogen is a natural gas plant in Rumford, Oxford, Maine, retired 2022-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 13 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.
