AES Petersburg
BrownfieldPetersburg, Pike, Indiana · AES Indiana
AES Petersburg is a coal plant in Petersburg, Pike, Indiana, retired 2023-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 805 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.
