White Street Landfill
BrownfieldGreensboro, North Carolina
White Street Landfill is a former landfill site in Greensboro, North Carolina. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 5 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.
