The second-largest fossil plant in SCE&G's system generates 650 megawatts of electricity by burning pulverized coal in a single unit. At full load, Williams Station can produce enough power in one hour to supply the average electric needs of 650 residential customers for one month. It can also generate 50 megawatts of electricity from two natural gas combustion turbines

x1 Stm. Turb. (Bitum. Coal fired) Gen set = 630 MW max Gen. Cap.
x2 Gas Turb. (Nat Gas fired) Gen sets = 54 MW max Gen Cap.
= 684 MW max total site Gen. Cap.

Comments

  • The metric "providing power to XX number of consumers for one month in one hour" is nonsensical. Please consider using more coherent metrics of capacity or energy production, such as: "capable of producing XX million MWHs per year, or the equivalent of the energy consumed by XX thousand households in one year." - Tom Stacy, Ohioan for Affordable Electricity (937) 407-6258.
