Bull Run Fossil Plant

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bull Run Fossil Plant, commonly known as Bull Run Steam Plant, is a coal-fired electric generating station owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority. It is located in the Claxton community of Anderson County, Tennessee, on Bull Run Creek, directly across the Clinch River (Melton Hill Lake) from Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Construction began in 1962 and was completed in 1967, when the plant began operation.

The plant has a single generating unit. The plant's winter net dependable generating capacity is about 870 MW. When the generator first went into operation, it was the largest in the world (measured in terms of the volume of steam produced).
