ReEnergy Black River
BrownfieldFort Drum, Jefferson, New York · Black River Generation LLC
ReEnergy Black River is a former biomass site in Fort Drum, Jefferson, New York, retired 2023-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 56 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.
