Vernon Dam
BrownfieldVernon, Windham, Vermont · Great River Hydro, LLC
Vernon Dam is a former hydro site in Vernon, Windham, Vermont, retired 2004-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 9 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.
