Coal power plant in Ohio, United States of America. Approximate location 40.5201, -81.4681.
CoalOhioUnited States of AmericaCO₂ reported
Dover is a 50 MW coal power plant in Ohio, United States of America. It is operated by City of Dover - (OH). Based on reported annual generation of 56 GWh, it can supply roughly 15,971 homes. It ranks #2782 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1975, it is around 51 years old — an older, legacy facility. Its measured emissions of 91,791 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 21,397 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 16.3% of United States of America's electricity; the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a hot-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 40.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 26% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 65/100 — this site sits in the mid third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.

The #252 largest coal power plant of 286 in United States of America by capacity.
United States of America has 286 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 249,149 MW of capacity.
