Rocky Creek
BrownfieldGreat Falls, Fairfield, South Carolina · Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC
Rocky Creek is a former hydro site in Great Falls, Fairfield, South Carolina, retired 2018-05-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 28 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.
