Coal Power Plants in the United States: FAQ

Where can I find a map of coal power plants in the United States?
The map on this page. It plots every one of the 193 operating coal power plants in the US that EIA-860M reports for 2026-07, at the coordinates EIA files for each plant. It is a US map: EIA-860M covers the fifty states and DC, so a North American map including Canada and Mexico is out of scope here.
How many coal power plants are there in the US?
193, totalling 181 GW of nameplate capacity across 545 generating units in 39 states. That is the EIA-860M count for 2026-07; Conventional steam coal and integrated gasification combined cycle.
How many coal burning power plants are left in the US?
193 coal fired power plants are still operating, at 181 GW. EIA also files retirements each month, so a coal electric power plant that closed after 2026-07 may still appear here until the next release.
Coal fire plants, coal fuel power plants, coal power generation plants — are these all the same thing?
Yes. They are all names for a plant whose primary fuel is coal, and every one of them is on this page. EIA files them under two technologies: conventional steam coal, and coal integrated gasification combined cycle.
Is there a coal power plant near me?
Pick your state from the list below to get the coal power plants in it, with the county each one sits in. The nearest plant to any address is whichever of those is closest — this site does not read your location.
What is the largest coal power plant in the USA?
W A Parish in Texas, at 4 GW of nameplate capacity. The full list on this page is sorted largest first.
Where does this data come from, and how current is it?
The US Energy Information Administration's form EIA-860M, the preliminary monthly electric generator inventory, for 2026-07. It is a survey of plants of 1 MW and above; anything smaller is not in it, and nothing on this page is estimated to fill that gap.
