coal plant
Combustion power station
A coal plant is a power station that burns coal to generate electricity.
The term typically refers to large industrial facilities where coal combustion heats water to produce steam, which drives turbines.
Coal plants have faced increasing scrutiny for their carbon emissions and environmental impact: The old coal plant is scheduled to close next year.
