A. B. Brown Generating Station
Posey County, United States
The 1161st largest power station in the world
The A. B. Brown Generating Station is a four-unit, 700 megawatt (MW) power plant, located on the northern bank of Ohio River, 8 miles (10 km) east of Mount Vernon, Indiana and 5 miles (8 km) southwest of Evansville, Indiana just west of the Posey-Vanderburgh County Line. Each of the two coal-fired units (units 1 and 2) has a name-plate capacity of 265.2 MW. Bituminous coal is used as the primary fuel type, which can be substituted for natural gas. There are also two gas turbine units, 88.2 MW of nameplate capacity each. The facility is owned by Centerpoint Energy (formerly Vectren, preceded by Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company). Vectren announced a plan to retire the coal fired units in 2023 and replace them with natural gas units. Units 1 and 2 were both decommissioned in October 2023 and natural gas units 6 and 7 went online in 2025.
