Rensselaer City Light Plant
BrownfieldRensselaer, Jasper, Indiana · City of Rensselaer - (IN)
Rensselaer City Light Plant is a natural gas plant in Rensselaer, Jasper, Indiana, retired 2021-05-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 25 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.
