Naval Weapons Station Earle (NWS Earle)
BrownfieldTinton Falls, New Jersey
Naval Weapons Station Earle (NWS Earle) is a former superfund site in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 29 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.
