BrownfieldPeru, Lasalle, Illinois · City of Peru - (IL)
City of Peru Water Street Generating Sta is a oil plant in Peru, Lasalle, Illinois, retired 2011-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 19 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.
