Kennecott Power Plant
BrownfieldMagna, Salt Lake, Utah · Kennecott Utah Copper
Kennecott Power Plant is a natural gas plant in Magna, Salt Lake, Utah, retired 2019-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 396 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.
