The Mount Tom Station was a coal-fired power plant located in Holyoke, Massachusetts.

[1] The plant was opened in 1960, and was briefly converted to run on oil for ten years after 1970, before returning to burning coal.

[2] Starting in 2009, it no longer became profitable to run the station except in times of high demand due to the natural gas boom in the United States.

It produces enough power for 1,000 homes and is coupled with a battery storage facility that has 3 to 5 megawatts of capacity.
