James River Power Station
BrownfieldSpringfield, Greene, Missouri · City Utilities of Springfield - (MO)
James River Power Station is a natural gas plant in Springfield, Greene, Missouri, retired 2020-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 253 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.
