Monfalcone power station is a 336 MW coal power station in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy. It ranks #86 of 489 Italy power plants by installed capacity. Its annual emissions of 305,627 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS verified (EUTL 2023)) are equivalent to about 71k cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 1.4% of Italy's electricity; the national grid averages 285 gCO₂/kWh (48.8% low-carbon) (2025).

At 336 MW, Monfalcone power station is below the median coal plant in Italy (640 MW). Technically it is described as Siemens Energy: HL-class; subcritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.
