The Charles P. Crane Generating Station was a 400 megawatt (MW) coal power plant located on the Carroll Island Road in Bowleys Quarters, Maryland, 14 miles (23 km) east of Baltimore.

The station had two coal-fired generating units, rated at 190 and 209 MW nominal capacity,[1] and powered by cyclone steam boilers.

Coal was delivered to the generating station by a dedicated rail spur used by the Norfolk Southern Railway that connects to Amtrak's Northeast Corridor line.

Talen Energy assumed ownership of the plant on June 1, 2015, when the company was established as the combination of Riverstone Holdings, LLC with PPL Corporation's spun off power generation business.

As a condition of the merger, Talen was required by FERC to sell about 1,300 MW of generation in the PJM region to avoid dominating the market.

In September 2024, the county council unanimously voted to use $10 million in state open space funds to purchase the area with intentions to develop it into a park.
