SECCRA Community Landfill
BrownfieldWest Grove, Chester, Pennsylvania · Southeastern Chester County Refuse Auth
SECCRA Community Landfill is a natural gas plant in West Grove, Chester, Pennsylvania, retired 2010-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
