BrownfieldOxford, Sumner, Kansas · City of Oxford - (KS)
Oxford (KS) is a oil plant in Oxford, Sumner, Kansas, retired 2005-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 3 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.
