W R Clayton Plant
BrownfieldWalton, Georgia · Municipal Electric Authority
W R Clayton Plant is a natural gas plant in Walton, Georgia. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 513 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.
