Dec 31, 2018 It is a 3,520,000-kilowatt coal-fired facility that provides electricity for Georgia. As this diagram shows, the plant operates on the same principles as other fossil-fueled electric generating plants—it burns coal to produce heat that turns water into steam, which then turns turbines in a
Read MoreMany countries are choosing coal power plants as part of their energy mix to secure their grid while introducing intermittent power sources. With coal as a resource, they can provide around-the-clock power to meet their population’s growing needs and deliver a stable energy
Read MoreCoal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity. The steam is then cooled, condensed back into water and returned to the boiler to start the process over.
Read MoreJun 04, 2020 Coal’s utilization rate has declined since then, and in 2019, it fell to 48%. Falling coal plant utilization rates have occurred at the same time as increased generation from competing sources. In particular, natural gas combined-cycle turbine (CCGT) plants ran at 57% of capacity in 2019 versus less than 50% of capacity for coal.
