South Cairo
BrownfieldCairo, Greene, New York · Central Hudson Gas & Elec Corp
South Cairo is a oil plant in Cairo, Greene, New York, retired 2024-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 21 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.
