Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
NewYork GreenCloud announced acquisition of the Buena Vista Biomass Power facility to launch a carbon-negative AI factory; as of July 2026 no construction permit or Environmental Impact Report had been filed for the data center.
Underlying source
Source notes
About $4 million had been spent on plant renovation as of July 2026, with roughly $171 million planned for modernisation and data center construction; a soft operational test of the repowered plant was targeted for August 2026. Recorded as a data center rather than power generation because the generation is dedicated to the co-located compute; no IT capacity figure has been published, so no capacity is recorded.
Redevelopment of the existing 18 MW Buena Vista Biomass Power plant into a 41 MW biomass-to-pyrolysis facility powering an on-site, behind-the-meter AI compute hall using regionally sourced forestry and agricultural residues.
