Introduction
This fact sheet summarizes key considerations and approaches to support communities and developers in repurposing coal power plants to solar and storage facilities. Retired coal power plants provide a ready opportunity for redevelopment into clean energy infrastructure, including new solar and storage projects. The first-time analysis shows that over 300 surface coal mines recently out of commission could house around 103 GW of photovoltaic (PV) solar capacity, and upcoming closures of large operations could host an additional 185 GW of solar across 127 sites (see Methodology). Energy communities, for example those who house a former coal plant, have unprecedented federal support. The global energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as countries seek sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels.
