Payson
BrownfieldPayson, Utah, Utah · Payson City Corporation
Payson is a natural gas plant in Payson, Utah, Utah, retired 2024-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 5 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.
