Torrevaldaliga Nord power station is a 1,980 MW coal power station in Latium, Italy. It ranks #5 of 489 Italy power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2009, it is around 17 years old — relatively modern. In context, coal supplies about 1.4% of Italy's electricity; the national grid averages 285 gCO₂/kWh (48.8% low-carbon) (2025).

At 1,980 MW, Torrevaldaliga Nord power station is well above the median coal plant in Italy (640 MW). Technically it is described as ultra-supercritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Mothballed” — 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.
