Empire
BrownfieldP.O. Box 135, Washoe, Nevada · USG Nevada LLC
Empire is a former geothermal site in P.O. Box 135, Washoe, Nevada, retired 2011-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 5 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.
