They are usually near water as they burn coal to heat water to make steam to generate electricity. Also in some cases, it is easier to deliver coal to the plant by water than by road or railroad.

How many windmills to replace a coal fired power plant?

The number of wind turbines needed to replace a coal-fired power plant depends on several factors, including the capacity of the coal plant, the average wind turbine output, and local wind conditions. Generally, a typical coal-fired power plant has a capacity of about 500 megawatts (MW), while a modern wind turbine can generate between 2 to 3 MW. Therefore, it may take approximately 150 to 250 wind turbines to match the energy output of a single coal-fired power plant, assuming optimal wind conditions and turbine efficiency.
