John Sevier Fossil Plant, commonly known as John Sevier Steam Plant, was a 0.88-gigawatt (880 MW) coal-fired power plant located in Hawkins County, Tennessee, south of Rogersville on the shore of the Holston River.[2] It was operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority.

It was decommissioned in 2012, and replaced by a combined-cycle natural gas plant in the same year.[3][4] The plant and its two 350 foot tall smokestacks were demolished from 2015 to 2017.[5]
