Great Falls (SC)
BrownfieldGreat Falls, Chester, South Carolina · Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC
Great Falls (SC) is a former hydro site in Great Falls, Chester, South Carolina, retired 2018-05-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 12 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.
