The B.L. England Generating Station, also called Beesley's Point Generating Station at sundown. The power plant operated for 57 years on Peck Bay across from Ocean City, New Jersey. The facility provided approximately 450 megawatts of generating capacity from three generating units. Two units burned coal (and up to 7 percent used tires) and the third unit burned bunker C oil. Its large smokestack, altered to resemble a lighthouse, contained a sulfur dioxide scrubber which removed the SO2 from the flue gas and converted it into gypsum, which can be sold. The scrubber allowed the two coal units to use less expensive high sulfur coal from West Virginia. The station was decommissioned in 2019 after efforts failed to convert it from coal to natural gas due to environmentalists thwarting the construction of a pipeline through the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
