BrownfieldRising Sun, Cecil, Maryland · Essential Power Operating Services LLC
Essential Power Rock Springs LLC is a natural gas plant in Rising Sun, Cecil, Maryland. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 390 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.
