This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Illinois, sorted by type and name. In 2021, Illinois had a total summer capacity of 45,879 MW through all of its power plants.[2] In 2022, Illinois had a net generation of 192,443 GWh.[3] That year, the corresponding electrical energy generation mix was (approximately) 52.1% nuclear, 21.5% coal, 12.8% natural gas, 12.2% wind, and 0.9% solar.[4] Small-scale solar, which includes customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 1,201 GWh of energy to the state's electrical grid.
Illinois generated more energy from its six nuclear power stations than any other U.S. state in 2019.[5] Legislation in 2016 and 2021 provided state financial incentives which delayed the closure of several plants.[6][7]
