Edwardsport Station
- Retirement: 2011
- Capacity: 160 megawatts (retired)
- Location: Knox County, Indiana
- Commercial Date: 1918
Edwardsport Station’s original unit was built in 1918 and is no longer operational; three other operating units were built between 1944 and 1951. All three coal units were retired in 2011; however, the site continues to be an important location for electricity generation for our Indiana customers.
In 2007, Duke Energy received approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to build a cleaner-coal integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant at the Edwardsport site. The 630-megawatt IGCC facility is one of the cleanest and most efficient coal-fired power plants in the world. It emits less sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulates than the plant it replaced – while providing more than 10 times the power of the existing plant.
The project began commercial operation in 2013. Learn more about the Edwardsport IGCC project.
