This is a list of the operational coal-fired power stations in the United States.
Coal generated 15% of electricity in the United States in 2024, an amount less than that from renewable energy or nuclear power, and about half of that generated by natural gas plants. Coal was 14% of generating capacity.
Between 2010 and May 2019, 290 coal power plants, representing 40% of the U.S. coal generating capacity, closed. This was mainly due to competition from other generating sources, primarily cheaper and cleaner natural gas, as a result of the fracking boom, which has replaced so many coal plants that natural gas in 2019 accounted for 40% of the total electricity generation in the U.S., as well as the decrease in the cost of renewables. However, some coal plants remain profitable because costs to other people due to the health and environmental impact of the coal industry (estimated to average 5 cents per kWh) are not priced into the cost of generation. Some coal plants are considering only operating during periods of higher electricity demand, from December to February and from June to August. Most plants are expected to close by 2039.
