Scherer
BrownfieldJuliette, Monroe, Georgia · Georgia Power Co
Scherer is a coal plant in Juliette, Monroe, Georgia, retired 2022-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 891 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.
