BrownfieldWaterbury, Washington, Vermont · NextEra Renewable Fuels, LLC
Moretown is a natural gas plant in Waterbury, Washington, Vermont, retired 2023-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 3 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.
