Kilroot

Kilroot
The Kilroot power station on the north shore of Belfast Lough has a capacity of 660 MW and produces one third of Northern Ireland's electricity. It is the country's only coal fired power plant although the plant was initially oil fired. Today there is 520 MW of coal/biomass generation and 140 MW from gas turbines. The plant is owned by the AES Corporation, a United States based energy company.

One of the results of the 70s oil shocks was a revival of Old King Coal, at least for electricity generation. Something like 50% of US electricity now comes from coal.
