Mecklenburg Power Station

Mecklenburg Power Station, located on 19 acres in Clarksville, Virginia, produces enough electricity to power about 34,500 homes, using coal as fuel.

Mecklenburg consists of two 69-megawatt coal-fired generating units that began commercial service in 1992.

The units are equipped with fluidized gas desulfurization equipment to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and with exhaust gas baghouses to trap fly ash.

The station receives its cooling water from the John H. Kerr Reservoir.
