Refuse & Coal
BrownfieldCOLUMBUS, Franklin, Ohio · City of Columbus - (OH)
Refuse & Coal is a former waste site in COLUMBUS, Franklin, Ohio, retired 1995-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 90 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.
