Centralia Big Hanaford power plant is a coal-fired power plant supplemented with natural-gas-fired units. It is located east of Centralia, Washington, United States in Lewis County. It is the only commercial coal-fired power plant in the State of Washington.[1][2]
The plant, owned by TransAlta, is situated on 11,000 acres (4,500 ha) and at its peak, generated energy ample enough to power Los Angeles.[2] The plant is expected to permanently close in 2025 based on an agreement and bill signed in 2011 by governor Christine Gregoire, the TransAlta Energy Transition Bill. As a result, one coal boiler was shut down in 2020 as part of beginning phase of the closure.[3][4][5]
