B C Cobb
BrownfieldMuskegon, Muskegon, Michigan · Consumers Energy Co - (MI)
B C Cobb is a coal plant in Muskegon, Muskegon, Michigan, retired 2016-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 520 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.
