Skyline Gas Recovery
BrownfieldFerris, Dallas, Texas · WM Renewable Energy LLC
Skyline Gas Recovery is a natural gas plant in Ferris, Dallas, Texas, retired 2019-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 6 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.
