Harrisburg Facility
BrownfieldHarrisburg, Dauphin, Pennsylvania · Harrisburg Authority
Harrisburg Facility is a former waste site in Harrisburg, Dauphin, Pennsylvania, retired 2003-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 8 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.
