New Badger
BrownfieldKaukauna, Outagamie, Wisconsin · City of Kaukauna
New Badger is a former hydro site in Kaukauna, Outagamie, Wisconsin, retired 2012-05-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 4 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.
