Sabine
BrownfieldOrange, Orange, Texas · Entergy Texas Inc.
Sabine is a natural gas plant in Orange, Orange, Texas, retired 2016-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 239 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.
