Danville Westover Plant
BrownfieldDanville, Danville City, Virginia · City of Danville - (VA)
Danville Westover Plant is a oil plant in Danville, Danville City, Virginia, retired 2020-07-01. 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.
