Foresight Energy LP is a coal mining company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. It holds more than 1.7 billion tons of coal reserves, which it says could sustain production for over 75 years at current levels. The company operates three mining companies in the Illinois Basin, with two complexes employing longwall mining, a combination that supports high productivity and relatively low operating costs in underground coal production. The mines are described as among the safest, most productive, and lowest-cost underground coal mines in the United States. In 2024, the company expanded its activity beyond coal by participating in a cross-border solar investment, acquiring a 267 MW solar PV portfolio in Greece with Mirova via a transaction with Juwi GmbH.
