Lexington Hickory Street
BrownfieldLexington, Davidson, North Carolina · North Carolina Mun Power Agny #1
Lexington Hickory Street is a oil plant in Lexington, Davidson, 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.
