Four Corners
BrownfieldFruitland, San Juan, New Mexico · Arizona Public Service Co
Four Corners is a coal plant in Fruitland, San Juan, New Mexico, retired 2013-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 633 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.
