Harwood
BrownfieldHarwood, Cass, North Dakota · Minnkota Power Coop, Inc
Harwood is a oil plant in Harwood, Cass, North Dakota, retired 2012-12-01. 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.
