Gavin Power Plant General James M. Gavin Power Plant is a 2.6-gigawatt (2,600 MW) supercritical coal-fired power station in the village of Cheshire, Ohio, United States. It is owned by Lightstone Generation LLC, a 50–50 joint venture of The Blackstone Group LP and ArcLight Capital Partners. Gavin is the largest coal-fired power facility in Ohio, and one of the largest in the nation, capable of powering two million homes. In February 2017, the plant represented slightly more than 11 percent of the total electric generation capacity in Ohio.
Sherburne County Generating Station The Sherburne County Generating Station, also known as Sherco, is a massive coal-fired power plant on the banks of the Mississippi River in Becker, Minnesota, which is in Sherburne County. Its three units have a combined capacity of 2,238 megawatts, making it the largest power plant in the state. In comparison, the single-unit Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant located less than four miles away has an output of 671 MW. The state's other nuclear power plant, the 2-unit Prairie Island facility, is rated at 1,096 MW, so Sherco has a larger peak output than those plants put together. The station uses 20,000 to 30,000 tons of coal per day. The Burlington Northern Railroad delivers up to three 115-car trains per day from mines in the Powder River Basin.
