Lansing Smith
BrownfieldSouthport, Bay, Florida · Florida Power & Light Co
Lansing Smith is a coal plant in Southport, Bay, Florida, retired 2016-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 340 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.
