Sharon Steel Corp. (Midvale Tailings)
BrownfieldMidvale, Utah
Sharon Steel Corp. (Midvale Tailings) is a former superfund site in Midvale, Utah. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 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.
