BrownfieldAllentown, Lehigh, Pennsylvania · TalenEnergy Martins Creek LLC
TalenEnergy Martin Creek LLC Allentown is a oil plant in Allentown, Lehigh, Pennsylvania, retired 2022-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 64 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.
