Carl Bailey
BrownfieldAugusta, Woodruff, Arkansas · Arkansas Electric Coop Corp
Carl Bailey is a natural gas plant in Augusta, Woodruff, Arkansas, retired 2024-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 120 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.
