August 23, 2020, Winfield, West Virginia, United States of America: the John E. Amos Power Plant photographed Sunday August 23, 2020 along the Kanawha River near Winfield, West Virginia. The plant is a three-unit coal-fired power plant owned and operated by Appalachian Power, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP). With a nameplate rating of 2, 933 MW, it is the largest generating plant in the AEP system. It was named after John E. Amos, a prominent state senator, Democratic National Committee member from West Virginia, and member of the AEP board of directors. Coal is delivered to the facility by barge or rail, after which it is stored in the plant's coal yard. The coal yard storage capacity can reach up to 1.75 million tons of coal, while the entire plant consumes an average of 26, 000 tons of coal daily at full capacity. Units 1 and 2 are of 816.3 MW nameplate capacity each, and were started up in September 1971, and June 1972 respectively. 120, 000 pounds of coal is consumed every hour. Unit 3, rated at 1, 300 MW, was started up in October 1973. All units are supercritical, dry-bottom boilers powered by a blend of low-sulfur coal and Northern Appalachian Basin high-sulfur coal. The energy generated at the John Amos Plant is enough to power about 2 million homes. The plant employs around 300 people with a payroll of $27.1 million dollars. (Credit Image: © James D.
