Site description

Labadie Power Station is a 2,389-MW facility owned and operated by Ameren. Labadie is located near Labadie, Missouri in Franklin County and is the largest power plant in the state, beginning operations in 1970. The facility has four coal-fired units, two of which will be retired in 2036 and the remaining two in 2042. The station has three disposal sites: the Bottom Ash Pond, Fly Ash Pond, and landfill.
