BrownfieldPonca City, Kay, Oklahoma · Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority
Ponca is a natural gas plant in Ponca City, Kay, Oklahoma, retired 2022-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 48 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.
