Nanticoke Generating Station
The Nanticoke Generating Station was the largest coal-fired power plant in North America. At full capacity, it could provide 3,964 MW of power into the southern Ontario power grid from its base in Nanticoke, Ontario, Canada. It is owned by Ontario Power Generation. It was decommissioned in 2013 as part of the Government of Ontario's commitment to eliminate coal power.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.opg.com/generating-power/thermal/Pages/thermal.aspx )〕 Prior to the commencement of decommissioning, Nanticoke was one of Canada's top ten single sources of greenhouse gases.
==History==
The Nanticoke Generating Station is built on the site of the "Battle of Nanticoke", where in 1813 the Norfolk volunteer militia routed a band of American marauders who had been pillaging area farms and terrorizing the country, an exploit that inspired the British military forces and the people of Upper Canada during the War of 1812. The site was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1924.
Ontario Hydro revealed plans to build a 4,000MW fossil-fuel generating station near Long Point, Ontario in 1967.〔Wiancko 1981, p. 96〕 Its current site was selected in Nanticoke, Ontario, because of the nearby harbour, the proximity of United States coal supplies, and proximity to much of Ontario's population.〔 The construction of the plant cost CAN$800 million and operations started in 1972.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nanticoke Generating Station )〕 Eight pulverized coal-fired steam generators were built in phases between 1973 and 1978.〔
By 1981, the plant was consuming 35,000 tonnes of coal per day. Over the years, another $900 million has been invested in making the plant more energy efficient, robust, and improving its emissions.〔
