Omega Hills Gas Recovery
BrownfieldGermantown, Washington, Wisconsin · WM Renewable Energy LLC
Omega Hills Gas Recovery is a natural gas plant in Germantown, Washington, Wisconsin, retired 2001-06-01. 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.
