BrownfieldLubock, Lubbock, Texas · City of Lubbock - (TX)
J Robert Massengale is a natural gas plant in Lubock, Lubbock, Texas, retired 2023-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 107 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.
