BrownfieldRochester, Monroe, New York · Monroe County (NY)
Iola Powerhouse & Cogeneration Facility is a natural gas plant in Rochester, Monroe, New York, retired 2021-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 4 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.
