Animas
BrownfieldFarmington, San Juan, New Mexico · City of Farmington - (NM)
Animas is a natural gas plant in Farmington, San Juan, New Mexico, retired 2020-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 50 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.
