Quincy, Wash.
Though it’s a tiny town of only about 6,000 residents, the one strong benefit for power users in Quincy is the Wanapum Dam, which provides more than 1,000 megawatts of hydroelectric power that goes to supply data centers owned and operated by Yahoo, Dell, Microsoft and other firms. The dam allows the local utility company, the Grant County Public Utility District, to offer power at less than 3 cents per kW, making it the place with the lowest power cost of any market in the U.S., according to CBRE.
