BrownfieldNew Richmond, Clermont, Ohio · Duke Energy Ohio Inc
Walter C Beckjord is a coal plant in New Richmond, Clermont, Ohio, retired 2014-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1,433 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.
