A coal-fired power station or coal power plant is a thermal power station which burns coal to generate electricity. Worldwide there are about 2,500 coal-fired power stations, [ 1 ] on average capable of generating a gigawatt each.
Coal generated 16% of electricity in the United States in 2023, [1] an amount less than that from renewable energy or nuclear power, [2] [3] and about half of that generated by natural gas plants. Coal was 17% of generating capacity. [4] Between 2010 and May 2019, 290 coal power plants, representing 40% of the U.S. coal generating capacity, closed.
This is an incomplete list of decommissioned coal-fired power stations in the United States. Coal plants have been closing at a fast rate since 2010 (290 plants closed from 2010 to May 2019; this was 40% of the US's coal generating capacity) due to competition from other generating sources, primarily cheaper and cleaner natural gas (a result of ...
The power plant will close by or before December 31, 2028, as a result of a new federal wastewater rule that prohibits coal power plants from dumping toxic elements such as mercury, arsenic, and selenium into streams and rivers, along with the Keystone Generating Station and at least 24 other power plants in 14 states.
The Gibson Generating Station is a coal-burning power plant located at the northernmost end of Montgomery Township, Gibson County, Indiana, United States.It is close to the Wabash River, 1.5 miles (2.5 km) southeast of Mount Carmel, Illinois, 2 miles (3.2 km) south of the mouth of the Patoka River, and 4 miles (6.5 km) south of the mouth of the White River.
Reid Gardner Generating Station was a 557 megawatt coal fired plant on 480 acres (190 ha) [1] located near Moapa, Nevada. It was co-owned by NV Energy (69%) and California Department of Water Resources (31%). The plant consisted of four units. The first three were 100 MW units and were placed into service in 1965, 1968 and 1976.
On November 10, 2020, Talen Energy (parent company of Raven Power) announced that it will stop burning coal at the Brandon Shores and Wagner plants by the end of 2025. The plants will be converted to use alternative fuel sources. [3] In April 2023, Talen notified grid operator PJM that they instead intended to close Brandon Shores.
