Tangier
BrownfieldTangier, Accomack, Virginia · A & N Electric Coop
Tangier is a oil plant in Tangier, Accomack, Virginia, retired 1996-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
