This is a source-attributed discovery row. It can help you find a place and its citations; it is not a DataCenterData finding that the facility is distinct or currently operating.

Provider notes
Energy. 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.
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Cooling: Previously held pending provider-field review. The concern has not been resolved by an independent source review for this captured edition; the field remains withheld.
What the source record says
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 capacityMw is omitted.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2026-01 · source-reported 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.
Sources and attribution
These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
