BrownfieldBoardman, Morrow, Oregon · Portland General Electric Co
Boardman is a coal plant in Boardman, Morrow, Oregon, retired 2020-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 642 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.
