Freeport Energy
BrownfieldFreeport, Brazoria, Texas · Olin Blue Cube Operations
Freeport Energy is a natural gas plant in Freeport, Brazoria, Texas, retired 2023-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 776 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.
