Ravenswood
BrownfieldLong Island, Queens, New York · Ravenswood Operations LLC
Ravenswood is a natural gas plant in Long Island, Queens, New York, retired 2023-05-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 545 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.
