Buck Steam Station is a four-unit coal-fired generating station located on the Yadkin River in Rowan County, North Carolina. It was Duke Energy’s first large capacity coal generating plant built in the Carolinas and was named for the company’s co-founder James Buchanan "Buck" Duke.
Unit 4 was originally ordered and built for a navy vessel during World War II. When the Pentagon canceled the order, the manufacturer offered the unit to Duke Power, a forerunner of Duke Energy.
Three combustion turbine units are housed on the site.
