Waterford 1 & 2
BrownfieldKillona, St Charles, Louisiana · Entergy Louisiana LLC
Waterford 1 & 2 is a natural gas plant in Killona, St Charles, Louisiana, retired 2024-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 446 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.
