BrownfieldGrand Marais, Cook, Minnesota · City of Grand Marais - (MN)
Grand Marais is a oil plant in Grand Marais, Cook, Minnesota, retired 2003-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 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.
