BrownfieldSidney, Cheyenne, Nebraska · City of Sidney - (NE)
Sidney (NE) is a natural gas plant in Sidney, Cheyenne, Nebraska, retired 2013-05-01. 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.
