BrownfieldFranklin, St Mary, Louisiana · Cleco Power LLC
Franklin (LA) is a natural gas plant in Franklin, St Mary, Louisiana, retired 2015-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 10 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.
