Vicinity Energy Trenton, L.P. is a natural gas plant in Trenton, Mercer, New Jersey, retired 2008-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 15 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.
