BrownfieldSan Antonio, Bexar, Texas · Energy Developments, Inc d/b/a EDL
Covel Gardens Gas Recovery is a natural gas plant in San Antonio, Bexar, Texas, retired 2023-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 10 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.
