John Sevier
BrownfieldRogersville, Hawkins, Tennessee · Tennessee Valley Authority
John Sevier is a coal plant in Rogersville, Hawkins, Tennessee, retired 2014-06-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 800 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.
