BrownfieldGlendon, Northampton, Pennsylvania · NextEra Renewable Fuels, LLC
PPL Glendon LFGTE Plant is a natural gas plant in Glendon, Northampton, Pennsylvania, retired 2021-12-01. 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.
