J E Corette Plant
BrownfieldBillings, Yellowstone, Montana · Talen Montana LLC
J E Corette Plant is a coal plant in Billings, Yellowstone, Montana, retired 2015-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 173 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.
