SunCoke Energy South Shore Facility
BrownfieldSouth Shore, Greenup, Kentucky · SunCoke Energy, Inc.
SunCoke Energy South Shore Facility is a coal plant in South Shore, Greenup, Kentucky. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 90 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.
