Richard Gorsuch
BrownfieldMarietta, Washington, Ohio · American Mun Power-Ohio, Inc
Richard Gorsuch is a coal plant in Marietta, Washington, Ohio, retired 2010-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 200 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.
