Erickson Station
BrownfieldLansing, Eaton, Michigan · Lansing Board of Water and Light
Erickson Station is a coal plant in Lansing, Eaton, Michigan, retired 2022-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 155 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.
