Little Gypsy
BrownfieldLa Place, St Charles, Louisiana · Entergy Louisiana LLC
Little Gypsy is a natural gas plant in La Place, St Charles, Louisiana, retired 2015-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 248 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.
