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 ...

Map of all utility-scale power plants. This article lists the largest electricity generating stations in the United States in terms of installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear, natural gas, oil shale, and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat ...
Half of the coal mined in Colorado was exported in 2019, and extraction of the states's oil and gas reserves increased to record-high levels. [3] As coal power plants are closed and some new solar projects delayed, a 270 MW shortfall was projected for the 2024 peak summer load. [4]
As many as 157 retired coal plants and 237 operating coal plant sites across the U.S. could be converted to nuclear power and help the country reach its net-zero emissions goals by 2050, the U.S ...
In the United States, three coal-fired power plants reported the largest toxic air releases in 2001: [33] Duke Energy's Roxboro Steam Electric Plant in Semora, North Carolina. The four-unit, 2,462 megawatt facility is one of the largest power plants in the United States. Reliant Energy's Keystone Power Plant in Shelocta, Pennsylvania.
