The following page lists 83 of the coal-fired power stations (including lignite-fired) that are 3,000 MW or larger net capacity, which are operational or under construction. If a station also has units which do not burn coal, only coal-fired capacity is listed.
Global Energy Monitor was founded in 2007 by writer and environmentalist Ted Nace.Originally named "Coalswarm", and affiliated with Earth Island Institute, the organization created a tracker database of global coal-fired power stations that became "widely respected" by academic researchers, media outlets, and governments.

Worldwide there are about 2,500 coal-fired power stations, [1] on average capable of generating a gigawatt each. [2] [a] They generate about a third of the world's electricity, [3] but cause many illnesses and the most early deaths per unit of energy produced, [4] mainly from air pollution. [5] [6] World installed capacity doubled from 2000 to ...

This article lists the largest power stations in the world, the ten overall and the five of each type, in terms of installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal , fuel oils , nuclear fuel , natural gas , oil shale and peat , while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass , geothermal ...
Plant Bowen, the third-largest coal-fired power station in the United States. This is a list of the 212 operational coal-fired power stations in the United States.. 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.
This category is for power stations where a fossil fuel (coal, natural gas, oil, peat, etc.) is used. Companion categories are: Category:Renewable energy power stations by country; Category:Nuclear power stations by country
A fossil fuel power station is a thermal power station which burns a fossil fuel, such as coal, oil, or natural gas, to produce electricity. Fossil fuel power stations have machinery to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy , which then operates an electrical generator .
