USN Phila Naval Shipyard
BrownfieldPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania
USN Phila Naval Shipyard is a former brownfield site in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for utility-scale 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.
