Allen Combustion Turbine Plant

Allen Combustion Turbine Plant is located on Lake McKellar, five miles southwest of downtown Memphis, Tenn., and is located near Allen Combined Cycle Plant.

Allen was originally built with 20 units and a combined capacity of approximately 456 megawatts – enough to power more than 267,000 homes.

Allen is going through a period of transformation. Units 1 to 16 have been demolished. Units 17 and 18 are deactivated. Units 19 and 20 are capable of producing 92 megawatts.  

Allen was built in 1971, and the final unit was completed in 1972. TVA purchased the site in 1984 along with the now retired Allen Fossil Plant.
