How HAEFLING compares
With 62 MW of capacity, HAEFLING ranks 25th among the 31 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Kentucky and is the largest of the 2 operating Oil plants in the state. It accounts for about 84% of Kentucky's operating Oil capacity and 0.3% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 60th-largest of the 544 operating Oil plants in the database. Commissioned in 1970, it is older than 66% of the 30 operating Kentucky plants with a recorded commissioning year. Its operator, KENTUCKY UTILITIES CO, runs 4 operating plants in Kentucky totaling 4,054 MW.
Under the same EIA plant code, EIA-860 lists 2 generators at the site with 41 MW of nameplate capacity (this page's HIFLD capacity figure is 62 MW). The plant was a net consumer of electricity in 2024 (-0.163 GWh).
Grid neighborhood
