Sweatt
BrownfieldMeridian, Lauderdale, Mississippi · Mississippi Power Co
Sweatt is a natural gas plant in Meridian, Lauderdale, Mississippi, retired 2016-07-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 95 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.
