Bethlehem Energy Center
BrownfieldGlenmont, Albany, New York · GB II New York LLC
Bethlehem Energy Center is a natural gas plant in Glenmont, Albany, New York, retired 2005-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 400 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.
