Overlook Medical Center
BrownfieldSummit, Union, New Jersey · Overlook Medical Center
Overlook Medical Center is a natural gas plant in Summit, Union, New Jersey, retired 2022-09-01. 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.
