BrownfieldClay Center, Clay, Kansas · City of Clay Center - (KS)
Clay Center is a natural gas plant in Clay Center, Clay, Kansas, retired 2005-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 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.
