Thibodaux
BrownfieldThibodaux, Lafourche, Louisiana · Entergy Louisiana LLC
Thibodaux is a natural gas plant in Thibodaux, Lafourche, Louisiana, retired 2002-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 21 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.
