Tradinghouse
BrownfieldWaco, McLennan, Texas · Luminant Generation Company LLC
Tradinghouse is a natural gas plant in Waco, McLennan, Texas. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 471 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.
