International Paper Savanna Mill
BrownfieldSavannah, Chatham, Georgia · International Paper Co
International Paper Savanna Mill is a coal plant in Savannah, Chatham, Georgia, retired 2002-08-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 53 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.
