P H Robinson
BrownfieldBacliff, Galveston, Texas · NRG Texas Power LLC
P H Robinson is a natural gas plant in Bacliff, Galveston, Texas, retired 2009-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2,315 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.
