A B Brown
BrownfieldMount Vernon, Posey, Indiana · Southern Indiana Gas & Elec Co
A B Brown is a coal plant in Mount Vernon, Posey, Indiana, retired 2023-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 530 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.
