Ebensburg Power Company is a 50-megawatt cogeneration power plant that burns waste coal to produce steam and electricity. The steam provides heat and hot water to local businesses, while the electricity is sold to Penelec. The plant began commercial operation in May 1991. 

The plant features a circulating fluidized bed boiler which was designed, fabricated, erected and commissioned by Babcock & Wilcox. It burns low-volatile waste coals which are found in refuse piles throughout Central Pennsylvania. 

The plant, which encompasses approximately 32 acres, employs 28 people. An additional six people are employed at the adjoining Revloc Reclamation Services. Revloc is a wholly owned subsidiary of Babcock & Wilcox in Barberton, Ohio, and provides the plant with a reliable supply of waste coal for daily operation.
