It depends on the size of the plant, and it's generating capacity. Most coal powered generating plants cost in maintenance about $1.00 per megavolt-ampere-hour of generating capacity in maintenance (non-fuel) cost, annually.
So a 450 MW generating plant will cost about $86 million dollars per year to maintain all the operating systems. Upgrades and refits add to this cost, and this does not include salaries of the plant workers. These costs are often averaged over 3-5 years, as generating units are not taken offline every year but every 3 to 5 years.

How much electricity does a coal power station supply?
it depends on how big the power station is
Are hydroelectric as powerful as oil or coal stations?
Yes,once its used as much oil and coal power station
What kind of station is Ferrybridge power station?
Ferrybridge is a coal powered power station.
What produces cheaper electricity- a coal burning station or a nuclear power station?
coal
What is the largest coal fired power station?
kendal power station in south Africa
Which type of coal used in thermal power station?
lignite coal
How is coal used in a power station?
the coal is crushed first then the coal is passed for burning
Which type of power station uses chemical energy to generate electricity coal fired or nuclear?
A coal-fired power station uses chemical energy from burning coal to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses nuclear reactions to generate electricity.
Will the power station for coal generate a lot of power?
yes
What can replace coal in a power station?
Current
How is CO2 formed in a coal - fuelled power station and in a gas - fuelled power station?
In a coal-fueled power station, CO2 is formed when coal is burned in the presence of oxygen during the combustion process. The carbon in the coal combines with oxygen to form CO2 as a byproduct. In a gas-fueled power station, CO2 is formed when natural gas is burned in a similar combustion process, where the carbon in the gas combines with oxygen to produce CO2.
Is A Coal Power Station Better Than A Nuclear Power Station?
yes a coal is nature nuclear uses lots of power Process for production of power from coal is very inefficient , More over it produces lot of carbon dioxide in to atmosphere (harmful green house gas). While Process for production of power from Nuclear plant is very good when compared with coal power. But initial and maintenance cost is very high. Unit cost for coal power is more economical than nuclear power. So economically coal power station is better. But on the basis of efficiency Nuclear power stations are good. When the deaths caused by the two types of mining are considered, coal fired systems have a much higher overall death rate. But the coal mining industry is improving this.
