Fitchburg Gas & Electric Light Company
BrownfieldFitchburg, Massachusetts
Fitchburg Gas & Electric Light Company is a former manufacturing site in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. 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.
