Philip Sporn
BrownfieldGraham Station, Mason, West Virginia · Appalachian Power Co
Philip Sporn is a coal plant in Graham Station, Mason, West Virginia, retired 2015-11-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1,106 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.
