BrownfieldMorganton, Burke, North Carolina · City of Morganton - (NC)
Water Filter Plant #2 is a oil plant in Morganton, Burke, North Carolina, retired 2013-05-01. 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.
