Rumble Road Energy Center
BrownfieldSmarr, Monroe, Georgia · Oglethorpe Power Corporation
Rumble Road Energy Center is a natural gas plant in Smarr, Monroe, Georgia. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 660 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.
