BrownfieldLarned, Pawnee, Kansas · City of Larned - (KS)
Larned is a natural gas plant in Larned, Pawnee, Kansas, retired 2010-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 13 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.
