Colbert
BrownfieldTuscumbia, Colbert, Alabama · Tennessee Valley Authority
Colbert is a coal plant in Tuscumbia, Colbert, Alabama, retired 2016-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1,350 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.
