This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state/commonwealth of Kentucky, sorted by type and name. In 2022, Kentucky had a total summer capacity of 17,633 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 69,147 GWh. [ 2 ]
There were no fatalities, but five people were injured. The failure resulted in permanent damage to the surrounding landscape and power generation did not resume until 2010. 2005 [13] [14] [15] Itaipu Dam: Paraná (BR) Alto Paraná (PY) Brazil Paraguay: 18 GW power generation loss due to storm damage of transmission lines. 2009
The three coal-fired generators can produce 700 megawatts of electricity, more than one-fifth of KU's total capacity. An average of 15,000,000 short tons (1.4 × 10 10 kg) of coal is burned annually at Brown Station. Four of the combustion turbine units can deliver 110 megawatts each; the other two can produce 164 megawatts each.
Coal power generation is declining in Kentucky, but it still made up a majority of all generation in the state in 2022, according to the U.S. Energy Information Association. That year, about 68% ...
The Hugh L. Spurlock Generating Station is a 1.3-gigawatt (1,346 MW) coal power plant owned and operated by the East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC) located west of Maysville, Kentucky. The plant began operations in 1977.
The Palisades and Eaton fires have burned more than 12,000 structures and are expected to be the most costly fires in American history, with estimates ranging from $50 billion to $150 billion.

Unit 10, which was converted to an atmospheric fluidized-bed boiler in the early 1980s was idled in October 2010 and retired on June 30, 2014. That unit's generator was moved to TVA's Kingston Fossil Plant late that year, where it replaced a generator that had failed ...
In 2014, the state Public Service Commission authorized the construction of a solar photovoltaic array at the E. W. Brown Generating Station. The array will be the first utility-scale solar project in the state, and will be capable of providing 10 MW of power alongside the fossil fuel based generators already operating onsite.
