Troy Landfill Solar 1
BrownfieldTroy, New York
Troy Landfill Solar 1 is a former landfill site in Troy, New York. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
