BrownfieldMorgan City, St Mary, Louisiana · Louisiana Energy & Power Authority
Morgan City is a natural gas plant in Morgan City, St Mary, Louisiana, retired 2015-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 70 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.
