Recently got into an amazing coal power plant that is to be demolished before the year's end. The site was decommissioned when its owners deemed it too costly to upgrade it to EPA standards. The plant is almost completely vandalism free, and the vandalism there is from the recently placed construction crews. Above all, it still has power.

Approaching the actual generation area there were plenty of circuit boards in great condition.

Now I entered the area where power would actually be generated. The turbines and equipment were in pristine condition, it appeared that it would not take much to get it running once more.

The final picture is of the doors throughout the place which looked as if the belonged more in a psychiatric hospital than a power plant.

At this point I began to feel sick and left before seeing the roof of the complex. I will definitely be returning soon. This location is the third I've seen that truely impacted me. It's easily made it as one of my favorites. Thanks for viewing and let me know what you think!

Absolutely beautiful. Was there any kind of on site security?

There was, they were stationed in the guard booth at the main entrance, but occasionally they patrol. You can also consider the workers a form of security too I suppose.

wow - phenomenal location!! excellent work!

Wait, did you go in while they were pulling the building down? I know that this kind of hobby isn't the safest thing, but that's some balls right there...

Wow! Great find and write up. I'm fond of control rooms and this one is most impressive

That control room is sweeeeeet

Not this time, they were demo-prepping. With that being said, I've been in my fair share of structural demo sites as well.

Thanks, everyone! It sure is an amazing spot, it's a shame it'll be gone soon. It's also a shame I find myself saying that line more and more recently... The control room sure was a sight to see!

Damn S&J killing it with these explores keep up the amazing work!
