River Valley is a coal-fired power plant located in the United States of America, positioned at coordinates 35.1931, -94.6458. With a total capacity of 350 MW, this facility is a vital component of the energy landscape in Oklahoma, contributing significantly to the state's power generation capabilities. Owned and operated by Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co, River Valley was commissioned in 1990 and primarily utilizes coal as its fuel source, supplemented by natural gas as a secondary fuel. This dual-fuel capability enhances the plant's flexibility, allowing it to adapt to market conditions and energy demands. As coal remains a key player in the national energy mix, River Valley helps ensure a steady supply of electricity to the regional grid, particularly during periods of high demand. The facility's long-standing presence underscores its importance in local energy policy discussions, as the U.S. works towards balancing traditional energy sources with renewable alternatives. Despite the ongoing transition to cleaner energy, River Valley's operational efficiency and capacity continue to support the energy needs of the local population, while also facing scrutiny regarding environmental impacts and emissions.
