Smith Island
BrownfieldEwell, Somerset, Maryland · A & N Electric Coop
Smith Island is a oil plant in Ewell, Somerset, Maryland, retired 2021-05-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
