Last year, Alabama Power retired the Powell Avenue Steam Plant in downtown Birmingham after more than a century of service. The company is beginning the process of examining how the historic structure could be restored to support economic development and contribute to the ongoing revitalization of the city.

Please check out these videos that describe the history of the facility and offer a potential vision for a new Powell Avenue Steam Plant.

An external website, www.powellsteamplant.com, has been created to help educate the community about the history of Powell Avenue and the potential redevelopment of the facility. Individuals can also submit their emails to receive periodic updates regarding the project.
