F J Gannon
BrownfieldTampa, Hillsborough, Florida · Tampa Electric Co
F J Gannon is a coal plant in Tampa, Hillsborough, Florida, retired 2004-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 635 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.
