Autumn Hills Generating Facility
BrownfieldZeeland, Ottawa, Michigan · North American Natural Res
Autumn Hills Generating Facility is a natural gas plant in Zeeland, Ottawa, Michigan, retired 2024-05-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 3 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.
