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 a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Iowa, sorted by type and name. In 2021, Iowa had a total summer capacity of 21,771 MW through all of its power plants, and in 2022 Iowa had a net generation of 71,316 GWh. [ 2 ]
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 ...

Declining prices for natural gas in the early 21st century led to an increase in the number of natural gas power plants. Consumers Energy announced a new 700 MW plant to be built near Flint beginning about 2015, [ 22 ] while the city of Holland replaced its coal plant with a 114 MW natural gas plant. [ 23 ]
In the 1970s IES constructed the Duane Arnold Energy Center, a 615 MW nuclear plant in Palo, Iowa. In 2006, Alliant closed a deal with FPL Energy to sell their stake in the plant. [5] Alliant Energy also provides several non-regulated services, including ground transportation and energy engineering (such as wind and geothermal energy).
