Bowen
BrownfieldCartersville, Bartow, Georgia · Georgia Power Co
Bowen is a oil plant in Cartersville, Bartow, Georgia, retired 2013-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 42 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.
