Category:Proposed coal plants in the United States

This article is part of the Global Energy Monitor coverage of coal plants

Sub-articles:

Beginning around the year 2000, in response to increases in natural gas prices, utilities across the United States began a renewed push to build new coal-fired electricity generating plants. By the spring of 2007, approximately 150 such projects were either under construction or in various stages of planning. The National Energy Technology Laboratory, a division of the Department of Energy, maintained a database of such projects, but ceased providing project-specific information as of May 2007. Since that report, scores of coal-fired power plants have been canceled, but new proposals have appeared.

Table of Proposed Coal-Fired Power Plants and Synfuels Plants (included projects cancelled and commissioned 2002-2017)

The following sortable table lists proposed coal plants in the United States. Sierra plant names, capacity figures, and status designations are as listed in the Sierra Club's "Stopping the Coal Rush" tracking list as of February 2013.
