Wellington 1
BrownfieldWellington, Sumner, Kansas · City of Wellington - (KS)
Wellington 1 is a oil plant in Wellington, Sumner, Kansas, retired 2005-02-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
