Roberts Road Power Plant
BrownfieldFayetteville, Fayette, Georgia · Energy Developments, Inc d/b/a EDL
Roberts Road Power Plant is a natural gas plant in Fayetteville, Fayette, Georgia, retired 2012-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
