Abilene Energy Center Combustion Turbine
BrownfieldAbilene, Dickinson, Kansas · Evergy Kansas Central, Inc
Abilene Energy Center Combustion Turbine is a natural gas plant in Abilene, Dickinson, Kansas, retired 2012-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 77 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.
