BrownfieldNiles, Trumbull, Ohio · American Mun Power-Ohio, Inc
Niles is a oil plant in Niles, Trumbull, Ohio, retired 2018-06-01. 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.
