The Seminole Generating Station is a large fossil-fuel power plant in Putnam County, Florida, near Palatka, Florida.[3] The station was developed by Seminole Electric Cooperative and originally entered service in the mid-1980s with two 650 MW coal-fired generating units (Units 1 and 2).[4] The units are capable of firing bituminous coal and blends including petroleum coke, and the plant has long included major emissions controls. Scrubber byproducts have been marketed as synthetic gypsum to an adjacent wallboard facility.[1][4] An approved natural-gas combined-cycle project is intended to replace one of the coal units.[3]
In January 2024, Unit 1 was decommissioned after 40 years of service.[5]
