Shelby Municipal Light Plant
BrownfieldShelby, Richland, Ohio · City of Shelby - (OH)
Shelby Municipal Light Plant is a coal plant in Shelby, Richland, Ohio, retired 2019-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 40 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.
