Alliant SBD 9402 Climax
BrownfieldFt. Madison, Lee, Iowa · Industrial Energy Applications Inc
Alliant SBD 9402 Climax is a oil plant in Ft. Madison, Lee, Iowa, retired 2011-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 8 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.
