Block Island
BrownfieldBlock Island, Washington, Rhode Island · Block Island Utility District
Block Island is a oil plant in Block Island, Washington, Rhode Island, retired 2017-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 7 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.
