Pleasant Prairie
BrownfieldPleasant Prairie, Kenosha, Wisconsin · Wisconsin Electric Power Co
Pleasant Prairie is a coal plant in Pleasant Prairie, Kenosha, Wisconsin, retired 2018-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 1,235 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.
