Herrema Dairy
BrownfieldFair Oaks, Jasper, Indiana · Herrema Dairy, LLC
Herrema Dairy is a natural gas plant in Fair Oaks, Jasper, Indiana, retired 2023-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 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.
