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 Diablo Canyon Power Plant in San Luis Obispo County is the largest power station in California with a nameplate capacity of 2,256 MW and an annual generation of 18,214 GWh in 2018. [6] The largest under construction is the Westlands Solar Park in Kings County , which will generate 2,000 MW when completed in 2025.
This is a list of the 215 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. Coal was 17% of generating capacity. [4] Between 2010 and May ...

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.
The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) declared a Stage 3 Energy Emergency for Tuesday night, meaning the state’s energy demand is expected to outpace its supply. CAISO warned that ...
This was the last coal plant in Sweden, and its closure made Sweden coal free. In addition to heat and power coal is also used for steel production, there are long-term plans to phase out coal from steel production: Sweden is constructing hydrogen-based pilot steel plant to replace coke and coal usage in steel production.

[24] [needs update] Over 13 GW of coal power plants built between 1950 and 1970 were retired in 2015, averaging 133 MW per plant. [25] In Texas, the price drop of natural gas has reduced the capacity factor in 7 of the state's coal plants (max. output 8 GW), and they contribute about a quarter of the state's electricity.
