Mineral Gap Data Center
BrownfieldWise, Virginia
Mineral Gap Data Center is a former mine site in Wise, Virginia. 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.
