Wansley
BrownfieldRoopville, Heard, Georgia · Georgia Power Co
Wansley is a coal plant in Roopville, Heard, Georgia, retired 2022-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1,957 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.
