Buzzard Roost GT
BrownfieldChappells, Greenwood, South Carolina · Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC
Buzzard Roost GT is a natural gas plant in Chappells, Greenwood, South Carolina, retired 2012-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 198 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.
