BrownfieldCarmi, White, Illinois · City of Carmi - (IL)
Carmi is a oil plant in Carmi, White, Illinois, retired 2019-12-01. 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.
