Luminant says goodbye to final tower.
The third tower of the old Luminant power plant was imploded just after 9:00 a.m. Thursday morning in Coppell.
City officials did not publicize the event because they did not want to attract a crowd. But a small number of people still managed to learn about the implosion, and found a spot to watch the 48-year-old building come down.
Luminant stopped operating the power plant in 2008 and retired it in 2009. When operational, the facility generated enough power for more than 350,000 average Texas homes.
This is the old power plant’s final tower to be imploded. The first tower came down in April.
