Commercial Street
BrownfieldMarblehead, Essex, Massachusetts · Town of Marblehead - (MA)
Commercial Street is a oil plant in Marblehead, Essex, Massachusetts, retired 2010-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
