FirstEnergy Willow Island
BrownfieldWillow Island, Pleasants, West Virginia · Monongahela Power Co
FirstEnergy Willow Island is a coal plant in Willow Island, Pleasants, West Virginia, retired 2012-09-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 213 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.
