FirstEnergy Albright
BrownfieldAlbright, Preston, West Virginia · Monongahela Power Co
FirstEnergy Albright is a coal plant in Albright, Preston, West Virginia, retired 2012-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 278 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.
