The Paradise Fossil Plant is a dual coal-fired power plant and natural gas power plant operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Located just east of Drakesboro, Kentucky, it is the largest megawatt capacity power plant in Kentucky. Located near the site of the former town of Paradise, Kentucky on the Green River, it was razed by the TVA in 1967 over concerns that ash and other plant emissions would damage residents' health. The coal unit has a capacity of 1.15-gigawatts (1,150 MW) and the natural gas unit has a capacity of 1.02-gigawatts (1,025 MW). - Source: Wikipedia
