Mohave
BrownfieldLaughlin, Clark, Nevada · Southern California Edison Co
Mohave is a coal plant in Laughlin, Clark, Nevada, retired 2012-07-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1,636 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.
