The Riverbend Steam Station is currently a 454-MW coal-fired electrical power plant, owned by Duke Energy. The four-unit station is named for a bend in the Catawba River on which it is located. Riverbend is considered a cycling station and is brought on line to supplement supply when electricity demand is highest. Four gas-fired combustion turbine units are also housed on the site. The plant is scheduled for decommissioning in 2015.
