BrownfieldAlpena, Alpena, Michigan · Decorative Panels International, Inc.
Decorative Panels Intl is a natural gas plant in Alpena, Alpena, Michigan, retired 2024-02-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 8 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.
