Answer:
It also depends on the technology used. However, as a decent estimate it typically takes a coal plant 10-20 hours to reach 70% of its nameplate capacity. Gas turbines tend to be fast to startup. From a cold shutdown you're looking at 2-3hrs to achieve 100% of nameplate capacity at a large combined cycle plant.
