BrownfieldGalesburg, Knox, Illinois · Archer Daniels Midland Co
Galesburg is a natural gas plant in Galesburg, Knox, Illinois, retired 2012-01-01. 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.
