Dexter Street Solar
BrownfieldEast Providence, Rhode Island
Dexter Street Solar is a former brownfield site in East Providence, Rhode Island. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 3 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.
