Lamar Plant
BrownfieldLamar, Prowers, Colorado · City of Lamar - (CO)
Lamar Plant is a coal plant in Lamar, Prowers, Colorado, retired 2014-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 56 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.
