Glenwood
BrownfieldGlenwood Landing, Nassau, New York · National Grid Generation LLC
Glenwood is a natural gas plant in Glenwood Landing, Nassau, New York, retired 2012-07-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 228 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.
