BrownfieldPottsville, Schuylkill, Pennsylvania · TalenEnergy Martins Creek LLC
TalenEnergy Martins Creek LLC Fishbach is a oil plant in Pottsville, Schuylkill, Pennsylvania, retired 2022-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 37 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.
