Sunbury Generation LP
BrownfieldShamokin Dam, Snyder, Pennsylvania · Sunbury Generation LP
Sunbury Generation LP is a coal plant in Shamokin Dam, Snyder, Pennsylvania, retired 2014-07-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 438 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.
