BrownfieldWinston-Salem, Forsyth, North Carolina · Salem Energy Systems LLC
Salem Energy Systems LLC is a natural gas plant in Winston-Salem, Forsyth, North Carolina, retired 2017-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 5 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.
