Church Street Plant
BrownfieldManassas, Prince William, Virginia · City of Manassas - (VA)
Church Street Plant is a oil plant in Manassas, Prince William, Virginia, retired 2018-10-01. 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.
