The 407th largest power station in the world
Widows Creek Fossil Plant (also known as the Widows Creek Power Plant) was a 1.6-gigawatt (1, 600 MW) coal power plant, 4.8 miles (7.7 km) east of Stevenson, Alabama, USA. The plant, operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, generated about nine billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. It had one of the tallest chimneys in the world at 305 metres (1, 001 ft), which was built in 1977 and was removed December 3, 2020, in a controlled demolition. Along with the Chimney of the Harllee Branch Power Plant, it is the tallest chimney to be demolished in the United States.
