Dan River
BrownfieldEden, Rockingham, North Carolina · Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC
Dan River is a coal plant in Eden, Rockingham, North Carolina, retired 2012-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 388 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.
