John S Rainey
BrownfieldStarr, Anderson, South Carolina · South Carolina Public Service Authority
John S Rainey is a natural gas plant in Starr, Anderson, South Carolina. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 530 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.
