Coal Power Plants in Arizona: FAQ

How many coal power plants are in Arizona?
2, with 3 GW of nameplate capacity between them, spread over 1 county. That is the EIA-860M operating count for 2026-07.
Is there a map of Arizona coal power plants?
Yes — the map above. Each dot is one coal power plant, sized by nameplate capacity and placed at the coordinates EIA files for it.
Which is the largest coal power plant in Arizona?
Springerville, at 2 GW. The table is sorted largest first, so the rest follow it.
Is there a coal power plant near me in Arizona?
The county roll-up below groups every plant by county, which is the quickest way to find the one closest to a given town.
Which grid operator runs Arizona's coal power plants?
No single ISO or RTO covers most of them. EIA files each plant against its own balancing authority, which in Arizona is largely a vertically integrated utility rather than an organised market.
How current is this, and what is left out?
EIA-860M for 2026-07. Conventional steam coal and integrated gasification combined cycle. Plants below 1 MW are not surveyed by EIA and so are absent; retirements and additions after 2026-07 arrive with the next monthly release.
