R D Morrow
BrownfieldPurvis, Lamar, Mississippi · Cooperative Energy
R D Morrow is a coal plant in Purvis, Lamar, Mississippi, retired 2018-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 400 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.
