Coal Power Plants in Missouri: FAQ
- How many coal power plants are in Missouri?
- 8, with 10 GW of nameplate capacity between them, spread over 8 counties. That is the EIA-860M operating count for 2026-07.
- Is there a map of Missouri 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 Missouri?
- Labadie, at 2 GW. The table is sorted largest first, so the rest follow it.
- Is there a coal power plant near me in Missouri?
- 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 Missouri's coal power plants?
- No single ISO or RTO covers most of them. EIA files each plant against its own balancing authority, which in Missouri 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.
