Butler Municipal Power Plant
BrownfieldButler, Bates, Missouri · City of Butler - (MO)
Butler Municipal Power Plant is a oil plant in Butler, Bates, Missouri, retired 2020-07-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
