Harbor Beach
BrownfieldHarbor Beach, Huron, Michigan · DTE Electric Company
Harbor Beach is a coal plant in Harbor Beach, Huron, Michigan, retired 2013-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 125 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.
