Nashua Plant
BrownfieldNashua, Hillsborough, New Hampshire · NextEra Renewable Fuels, LLC
Nashua Plant is a natural gas plant in Nashua, Hillsborough, New Hampshire, retired 2014-08-01. 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.
