Halifax Electric
BrownfieldHalifax, Plymouth, Massachusetts · Gas Recovery Systems Inc
Halifax Electric is a natural gas plant in Halifax, Plymouth, Massachusetts, retired 2010-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 3 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.
