Kingston's nine units boast a summer net capability of 1,398 megawatts. It can generate approximately 10 billion kilowatt-hours a year — enough electricity to power approximately 817,830 homes. To meet the demand, Kingston burns about 14,000 tons of coal a day, an amount that would fill 140 railroad cars.
“Kingston is, and has been, a part of the success of this region over the last 70 years,” said TVA President and CEO Jeff Lyash. “Retiring these units and replacing them with technology that is more reliable, more resilient, and cleaner is not an easy decision, but it's the right thing to do for our energy security going forward.”
