List of coal-fired power stations

The following page lists 83 of the coal-fired power stations (including lignite-fired) that are 3,000 MW or larger net capacity, which are operational or under construction. If a station also has units which do not burn coal, only coal-fired capacity is listed. Those power stations that are smaller than 3,000 MW, and those that are only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional lists, listed at the end of the page.
