BrownfieldTucumcari, Quay, New Mexico · Southwestern Public Service Co
Tucumcari is a oil plant in Tucumcari, Quay, New Mexico, retired 2010-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 16 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.
