Mecklenburg Power Station
BrownfieldClarksville, Mecklenburg, Virginia · Virginia Electric & Power Co
Mecklenburg Power Station is a coal plant in Clarksville, Mecklenburg, Virginia, retired 2019-03-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 140 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.
