S O Purdom
BrownfieldSt Marks, Wakulla, Florida · City of Tallahassee - (FL)
S O Purdom is a natural gas plant in St Marks, Wakulla, Florida, retired 2018-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 80 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.
