Kraft
BrownfieldPort Wentworth, Chatham, Georgia · Georgia Power Co
Kraft is a coal plant in Port Wentworth, Chatham, Georgia, retired 2016-08-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 352 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.
