Newport Naval Education & Training Center
BrownfieldNewport, Rhode Island
Newport Naval Education & Training Center is a former superfund site in Newport, Rhode Island. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 11 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.
