Zorn
BrownfieldLouisville, Jefferson, Kentucky · Louisville Gas & Electric Co
Zorn is a natural gas plant in Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky, retired 2021-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 18 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.
