Portland (PA)
BrownfieldMt. Bethel, Northampton, Pennsylvania · Portland Power, LLC
Portland (PA) is a coal plant in Mt. Bethel, Northampton, Pennsylvania, retired 2014-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 427 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.
