BrownfieldPort Angeles, Clallam, Washington · McKinley Paper Co. - Washington Mill
McKinley Paper Co. - Washington Mill is a former biomass site in Port Angeles, Clallam, Washington, retired 2017-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 20 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.
