DFW Gas Recovery
BrownfieldLewsiville, Denton, Texas · WM Renewable Energy LLC
DFW Gas Recovery is a natural gas plant in Lewsiville, Denton, Texas, retired 2022-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 12 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.
