Hal C Weaver Power Plant
BrownfieldAustin, Travis, Texas · University of Texas at Austin
Hal C Weaver Power Plant is a natural gas plant in Austin, Travis, Texas, retired 2008-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 18 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.
