DeCordova Steam Electric Station
BrownfieldGranbury, Hood, Texas · Luminant Generation Company LLC
DeCordova Steam Electric Station is a natural gas plant in Granbury, Hood, Texas, retired 2013-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1,270 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.
