Toledo Zoo Solar
BrownfieldToledo, Ohio
Toledo Zoo Solar is a former brownfield site in Toledo, Ohio. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 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.
