The recently shut down Nanticoke Generating Station in Ontario Canada was the largest coal burning power plant in North America. (Thus it was designated as Canada's biggest polluter even though it had all the newest pollution controls). This power plant consisted of eight unit of just over 500 Mg Watts each. So it produced 8*500*24 Mg Watt hours of power each day. This is about 100 million KW hours of electricity each and every day.
A typical coal plant being built today should be of four units of 650 mg watts each. This should run at a 55-65% power factor. (that is should be running 55-65% of the time) Thus this plant should produce 4*650*24*.55 or 32 million kilowatt hours of electricity per day. With an 83% load factor (losses to plant production) an output of 25-30 million kilowatt hours per day could be realized.
Operating coal fired electric plants likely average 300 megawatts, world wide, and produce about 6000 megawatt hours per day on the average. Coal plants that produce other kinds of energy are typically smaller.
In 10 to 100 Mega Watts.
There is no way to know the answer to your question, because the size varies so much. Power plants don't really produce energy; they convert energy in one form (coal, natural gas, nuclear, etc.) to electrical energy and heat.
Here there is no such thing as a typical coal fired plant. Some are smaller and some very much bigger. Sorry!!
depends on the technology, size, workers, type of coal, how many ovens etc. Its impossible to say.
just consider it any typical power plant and tell me how much energy is produced by it alonely per day in megga watt.
