TEC is a proposed 716-megawatt (gross), 602-MW (net) facility using an advanced clean coal technology called Integrated Gasification Combined-Cycle, or IGCC, with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to make it among the most environmentally sustainable coal-fed power plants in the world. Located a mile northeast of Taylorville in central Illinois, the plant will create a new market for Illinois coal and generate enough electricity to power about 600,000 area homes.
