W S Lee
BrownfieldWilliamston, Anderson, South Carolina · Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC
W S Lee is a natural gas plant in Williamston, Anderson, South Carolina, retired 2022-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 449 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.
