Gold Member BOHICA Posted June 10, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted June 10, 2023 Only operates at 20% capacity factor last year. Not much of a use case anymore as it’s not a base load plant. https://wvpublic.org/pennsylvanias-biggest-coal-plant-homer-city-will-shut-down-in-july/?amp=1 Next month, Pennsylvania’s largest coal-burning power plant will shut down. The Homer City Generating Station in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, will cease producing power on July 1. Last year, the plant ran only 20 percent of the time, down from 82 percent in 2005.

SkisNH Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Is it being converted to natural gas?....that's what is happening to most coal plants. Not because of the AGW nonsense, but because of efficiency of modern gas boilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
