Pittsylvania Power Station

Pittsylvania Power Station, located on 224 acres in Hurt, Virginia, produces enough electricity to power about 20,000 homes, using wood as its fuel.

Pittsylvania consists of a single 83-megawatt wood-burning generating unit that began commercial service in 1994.

Pittsylvania is equipped with a selective non-catalytic reduction system to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and electrostatic precipitators to reduce the amount of particulate matter. The station receives its cooling water from Mill Creek.
