BrownfieldIola, Allen, Kansas · City of Iola - (KS)
Iola is a natural gas plant in Iola, Allen, Kansas, retired 2013-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 15 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.
