Coal Secures the Grid

 

 

June 22, 2026 - Power demand is rapidly rising. To secure the reliability of the grid, we need all power generation sources, including coal. A fuel that’s readily available, affordable and storable, coal helps ensure every home and business in the U.S. remains powered, even during extreme heat or cold.


American Consolidated Natural Resources (ACNR) is one of the largest underground coal mining companies in America. ACNR operates or manages four active coal mines and consists of five underground mining systems and 10 continuous mining units in West Virginia. In total, ACNR expects production of approximately 30 million tons of coal each year. By supplying the coal to fuel power generation, ACNR is part of the chain that secures the power grid.
