Montpelier Electric Generating Station
BrownfieldPoneto, Wells, Indiana · Kimura Power LLC
Montpelier Electric Generating Station is a natural gas plant in Poneto, Wells, Indiana. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 236 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.
