Elwha Hydroelectric Project
BrownfieldPort Angeles, Clallam, Washington · U S Bureau of Reclamation
Elwha Hydroelectric Project is a former hydro site in Port Angeles, Clallam, Washington, retired 2011-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 13 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.
