Rio Grande Valley Sugar Growers
BrownfieldSanta Rosa, Hidalgo, Texas · Rio Grande Valley Sugar Growers, Inc.
Rio Grande Valley Sugar Growers is a former biomass site in Santa Rosa, Hidalgo, Texas, retired 2024-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 25 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.
