Wisconsin Rapids Pulp Mill
BrownfieldWisconsin Rapids, Wood, Wisconsin · PCR Rapids 1 Op, LLC
Wisconsin Rapids Pulp Mill is a former biomass site in Wisconsin Rapids, Wood, Wisconsin, retired 2024-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 72 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.
