List of power stations in Illinois
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Illinois, sorted by type and name. In 2019, Illinois had a total summer capacity of 44,250 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 184,470 GWh.[2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 53.6% nuclear, 26.5% coal, 11.7% natural gas, 7.9% wind, 0.2% biomass, and 0.1% hydroelectric.[1]
Sources of Illinois utility-scale electricity generation:
full-year 2021[1]
Illinois generated more energy from its six nuclear power stations than any other U.S. state in 2019.[3] Legislation in 2016 and 2021 provided state financial incentives which delayed the closure of several plants.[4][5]
