Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail Yard Company Solar
BrownfieldPerry, Iowa
Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail Yard Company Solar is a former brownfield site in Perry, Iowa. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
