This list shows the type of fuel in order of start of time going from short to long.
- gas-fired station (shortest start-up time)
- oil-fired station
- coal-fired station
- nuclear power station (longest start-up time)
However I do not know the exact time.

∙ 9y agoCoal is only economical in larger situations because it has a longer start up time. Gas and oil stations require the shortest amount of time and nuclear takes the longest.

What type of power station has the least start up time?
A gas-fired power station takes the least time to start up.
What type of power station has the shortest start up time?
A gas-fired power station has the shortest start up time out of all three fossil fuels
What is the start up time for geothermal power station?
Geothermal power stations are built by digging into the Earth's crust and tapping into the direct heat that is never ending. It generally takes around nine months to start a geothermal power station.
Which type of fossil fuel power station has the shortest start-up time?
Gas stations start up the quickest because they use gas turbines and do not require water to be boiled up to produce steam.
What produces cheaper electricity coal burning power station or a nuclear power stastion?
I think they are similar, but the cost of coal varies widely and transport can cost a lot. The costs of nuclear look good on paper but cost overruns are frequent and present predictions are not reliable as no plants have been built for a long time, in the US at least.
Can you start a sentence with a time?
10:25pm was the time I picked up Joannie from the station.
Do nuclear power plants pollute more than coal power plants?
No. Nuclear power is more efficient because nuclear power is used as splitting atoms, making big bursts of energy, whereas coal power is simply burning coal. So nuclear power uses uranium fission to create energy (electricity), whereas coal power burns coal, emitting carbon. (Mind you, nuclear energy leaves behind radioactive waste - that is arguably easier to deal with for the time being. Not to mention that accidents at nuclear plants can have devastating environmental effects.
Is it cheaper or more expensive to use solar power than coal to produce electricity?
If you are setting up your own panels, start up cost is more expensive but this will pay off over time as it is renewable.
How long does it take to start generating electricity in a geothermal energy station?
a long time
What is increasing most in China - coal energy or wind energy?
In 2012, for the first time, China increased its wind power production more than its coal power production!Coal power production rose by 0.3%, an addition of roughly 12 terawatt hours (TWh) more electricity.Wind power rose by about 26 TWh. This increases China's wind energy to 100TWh, putting it in third place after coal and hydro, and larger than nuclear in fourth place.
When was the first time nuclear energy was created in a power station?
In 1956 at Calder Hall, England
What are the good points of using coal?
the good points of coal are it gives us electricity, we need to power our vehicles.Because you can reuse it but the bad thing is that it takes a long time to heat up ..... !!
