BrownfieldRichmond, Richmond City, Virginia · Veolia Energy Operating Service
Spruance Operating Services LLC is a coal plant in Richmond, Richmond City, Virginia, retired 2021-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 115 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.
