Darlington County
BrownfieldHartsville, Darlington, South Carolina · Duke Energy Progress - (NC)
Darlington County is a oil plant in Hartsville, Darlington, South Carolina, retired 2020-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 730 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.
