East Campus Utility Plant
BrownfieldCincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio · University of Cincinnati
East Campus Utility Plant is a natural gas plant in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio, retired 2024-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1 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.
