AES For Powering Data Center?

The AES facility at Mexico Farms remains dormant, even after President Trump said monies were made available to restart the coal-fired electrical plant.  While plans to decide on what to do with AES continue, a caller to WCBC had a unique idea that would bring use for the plant and development for the area as well…

“If we start that power plant back up again and we have a river that’s very close to that, we could build and have the state build us a data center to be put here. No problem at all and that power plant could literally power the data center without affecting the rates of anybody’s electricity in the area.”
