BrownfieldCrystal River, Citrus, Florida · Duke Energy Florida, LLC
Crystal River is a coal plant in Crystal River, Citrus, Florida, retired 2018-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1,855 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.
