Tom G Smith
BrownfieldLake Worth, Palm Beach, Florida · City of Lake Worth Beach - (FL)
Tom G Smith is a natural gas plant in Lake Worth, Palm Beach, Florida, retired 2000-07-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 48 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.
