Conemaugh Coal-Fired Power Plant

Description

Its power output is 1700 megawatts from coal and 12 megawatts from diesel.

It has a scrubber and some other upgrades to reduce emissions.

Locals are concerned about pollution from this plant going into the Conemaugh river that it is next to.

I will be adding more info about this plant soon.
