Deepwater
BrownfieldPennsville, Salem, New Jersey · Calpine New Jersey Generation LLC
Deepwater is a natural gas plant in Pennsville, Salem, New Jersey, retired 2014-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 683 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.
