Thetford
BrownfieldMount Morris, Genesee, Michigan · Consumers Energy Co - (MI)
Thetford is a natural gas plant in Mount Morris, Genesee, Michigan, retired 2018-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 222 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.
