List of coal-fired power stations

Last updated

The following page lists 82 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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">HVDC Cross-Channel</span> Electrical interconnector between the UK and France

The HVDC Cross-Channel is the 73-kilometre-long (45 mi) high-voltage direct current (HVDC) interconnector that has operated since 1986 under the English Channel between the continental European grid at Bonningues-lès-Calais and the British electricity grid at Sellindge. The cable is also known as IFA, and should not be confused with the new IFA-2, another interconnect with France that is three times as long but only half as powerful.
