BrownfieldEllis, Ellis, Kansas · Midwest Energy Inc - (KS)
Ellis is a natural gas plant in Ellis, Ellis, Kansas, retired 2007-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 5 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.
