This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Indiana, sorted by type and name. In 2019, Indiana had a total summer capacity of 26,665 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 102,505 GWh.[2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 59.3% coal, 33.5% natural gas, 6.1% wind, 0.4% biomass, 0.3% hydroelectric, 0.3% solar, and 0.1% petroleum.[1]

Coal-fired[edit]

  • 1 Also includes cooling towers.
  • 0 Active Units indicates Decommissioned Stations.

Coal gasification[edit]

1 The existing plant will be decommissioned and demolished upon completion of new IGCC facility.

Natural gas fired[edit]

Hydroelectric dams[edit]

Wind farms[edit]

The following table of wind farms and utility-scale wind power developments uses data from the AWEA,[26] the State of Indiana,[27] and other sources. For the larger projects constructed in phases, the table lists separate information for each phase. The name of each wind farm is the name used by the energy company when referring to the farm. The Wind Farm suffix is implied and hence removed for brevity. For more details and references for each wind farm, see its article.
