Named for former SWEPCO president and CEO John W. Turk Jr., the plant came online in 2012 as the first sustained "ultra"-supercritical coal plant in the United States, reaching boiler temperatures above 1,112 °F (600 °C) and pressures above 4,500 psi (310 bar). [3] The plant relies on low-sulfur coal from the Powder River Basin.
