BrownfieldDanbury, Burnett, Wisconsin · Northwestern Wisconsin Elec Co
Danbury Diesel is a oil plant in Danbury, Burnett, Wisconsin, retired 2022-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 7 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.
