How a Coal Plant Works. Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity. The steam is then cooled, condensed back into water and returned to the boiler to start the process over.

The average coal-fired power plant uses about 10,000 tons of coal per day. This is equivalent to a train of 130 to 140 cars–about 1.25 miles long–carrying about 100 tons of coal in each car. Because of this, you can see why many coal-burning power plants tend to be very close to the coal mines that provide the coal for the plant. With this ...
