Mitchell Power Plant is a large coal fired power station located on West Virginia Route 2 south of Moundsville, West Virginia, United States.

It has a 1,206-foot (368 m) tall chimney, which was built in 1971.[1] This smokestack was once the tallest in the world for a short period of time. As of 2013 it is the sixth tallest, and still the tallest freestanding structure in the Southern United States.[2]
