Bull Run
BrownfieldClinton, Anderson, Tennessee · Tennessee Valley Authority
Bull Run is a coal plant in Clinton, Anderson, Tennessee, retired 2023-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 950 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.
