Fort Monmouth (GSHP)
BrownfieldEatontown, New Jersey
Fort Monmouth (GSHP) is a former brownfield site in Eatontown, New Jersey. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for utility-scale 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.
