Fallon
BrownfieldNV, Churchill, Nevada · Sierra Pacific Power Co
Fallon is a oil plant in NV, Churchill, Nevada, retired 1998-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 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.
