Rex Brown
BrownfieldJackson, Hinds, Mississippi · Entergy Mississippi LLC
Rex Brown is a natural gas plant in Jackson, Hinds, Mississippi, retired 2019-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 349 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.
