Pella Peaking
BrownfieldPella, Marion, Iowa · City of Pella - (IA)
Pella Peaking is a oil plant in Pella, Marion, Iowa, retired 2001-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 4 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.
