AES power portfolio
Out of its total 13,122 MW of U.S. electric generating capacity (1.23% of the U.S. total), AES gets 52.2% from natural gas, 41.2% from coal, 3.3% from oil, 2.6% from wind, and 0.6% from wood. AES has power plants in California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wyoming - as well as in 28 countries around the world.[2]
Existing coal-fired power plants
AES had 29 coal-fired generating stations in 2005, with 5,515 MW of capacity. Here is a list of AES's coal power plants with capacity over 100 MW:[2][3][4]
| Plant Name | State | County | Year(s) Built | Capacity | 2007 CO2 Emissions | 2006 SO2 Emissions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petersburg | IN | Pike | 1967, 1969, 1977, 1986 | 1873 MW | 12,500,000 tons | 28,985 tons |
| Harding Street | IN | Marion | 1958, 1961, 1973 | 698 MW | 3,966,000 tons | 46,346 tons |
| Somerset | NY | Niagara | 1984 | 655 MW | 5,395,000 tons | 2,573 tons |
| Shady Point | OK | Leflore | 1990 | 350 MW | 2,576,000 tons | N/A |
| Cayuga | NY | Tompkins | 1955 | 323 MW | 2,278,000 tons | 4,360 tons |
| Eagle Valley | IN | Morgan | 1951, 1953, 1956 | 302 MW | 1,494,000 tons | N/A |
| Warrior Run | MD | Allegany | 1999 | 229 MW | 1,629,000 tons | N/A |
| Thames | CT | New London | 1989 | 214 MW | 1,713,000 tons | N/A |
| AES Hawaii | HI | Oahu | 1992 | 203 MW | 1,634,000 tons | 921 tons |
| Greenidge | NY | Yates | 1950, 1953 | 163 MW | 926,000 tons | 8,560 tons |
| Westover | NY | Broome | 1943, 1951 | 119 MW | 805,000 tons | 9,968 tons |
| Beaver Valley | PA | Beaver | 1987 | 114 MW | 1,434,000 tons | N/A |
In 2005, these coal-fired power plants emitted 36.4 million tons of CO2 (0.6% of all U.S. CO2 emissions) and at least 102,000 tons of SO2 (0.7% of all U.S. SO2 emissions).
