Higley
BrownfieldColton, St Lawrence, New York · Erie Boulevard Hydropower LP
Higley is a former hydro site in Colton, St Lawrence, New York, retired 2003-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 6 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.
