Kingston Fossil Plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kingston Fossil Plant, commonly known as Kingston Steam Plant, is a Tennessee Valley Authority coal-burning power plant located in Kingston, Tennessee on the shore of Watts Bar Lake. Begun in 1951, it was the largest coal-fired power plant in the world when completed in 1955. The plant has nine generating units and produces about ten billion kilowatt hours of electricity from some five million tons of coal each year. In 1976, its original stacks were taken out of service (though left standing) and replaced by a pair of 305-meter-tall chimneys, one for units 1-5 and one for units 6-9.[1] The plant is a popular site for birdwatchers, as many waterfowl come to the settling and treatment ponds nearby.[2]
