BrownfieldAvon Park, Highlands, Florida · Duke Energy Florida, LLC
Avon Park is a natural gas plant in Avon Park, Highlands, Florida, retired 2020-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 67 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.
