Hammond
BrownfieldRome, Floyd, Georgia · Georgia Power Co
Hammond is a coal plant in Rome, Floyd, Georgia, retired 2019-07-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 953 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.
