Lewis & Clark
BrownfieldRichland, Richland, Montana · Montana-Dakota Utilities Co
Lewis & Clark is a coal plant in Richland, Richland, Montana, retired 2021-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 50 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.
