Gastonia Duke Street
BrownfieldGastonia, Gaston, North Carolina · North Carolina Mun Power Agny #1
Gastonia Duke Street is a oil plant in Gastonia, Gaston, North Carolina, retired 2012-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 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.
