'''Sunbury Steam Electric Station''' is a coal-fired power station owned and operated by [[Sunbury Generation]]'s [[Corona Power]] in Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania.
In December 2011, Sunbury Generation announced plans to close five of its six coal-fired generators in Pennsylvania by 2015, including Sunbury Steam Station. Plant control operator Michael Kawa said Sunbury is "more or less" a seasonal plant due to environmental regulations and burns closer to 1 million st/year.<ref>[http://www.platts.com/RSSFeedDetailedNews/RSSFeed/Coal/7939948 "Sunbury to shut five coal-fired generators in Pennsylvania by 2015,"] Platts, Dec 29, 2011.</ref>
