Cross Generating Station is a 2,390 MW,[1] four unit coal-fired power station located in Pineville, South Carolina. It is owned by Santee Cooper, formally known as the South Carolina Public Service Authority.[2] The nameplate capacity of each unit is 590.9 MW, 556.2 MW, 591 MW, and 652 MW respectively.[1] In 2016, Cross switched from using higher quality bituminous coal, to refined coal, which is a lower quality coal that is refined to release less toxins and is backed by the US government.[3] The future of the plant has become more uncertain due to downward trends in use, talks of shuttering the station, and converting it to natural gas. However, no official statements have been made on the future of the plant.[4]
Environmental impact
In 2018, Cross Generating Station released 8,969,208 tons of CO2, 3,230 tons of SO2, and 3,233 tons of NOx.[5] Cross has a pond and a landfill that store coal ash from the site. An additional pond and landfill was closed down in 2017.[6]
