Ridgewood Providence Power
BrownfieldJohnston, Providence, Rhode Island · Rhode Island LFG Genco
Ridgewood Providence Power is a natural gas plant in Johnston, Providence, Rhode Island, retired 2013-05-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 20 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.
