Cleveland Works
BrownfieldCleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio · Cleveland Cliffs
Cleveland Works is a natural gas plant in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, retired 2023-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 35 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.
