BrownfieldCarlyle, Clinton, Illinois · City of Carlyle - (IL)
Carlyle is a oil plant in Carlyle, Clinton, Illinois, retired 2017-08-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 3 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.
