BrownfieldColumbia, Boone, Missouri · City of Columbia - (MO)
Columbia (MO) is a coal plant in Columbia, Boone, Missouri, retired 2019-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 39 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.
