General Electric Aircraft Engines
BrownfieldLynn, Essex, Massachusetts · General Electric Aircraft Engines
General Electric Aircraft Engines is a natural gas plant in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, retired 2020-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 54 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.
