“It is impossible to claim that retaining an uneconomic resource will benefit ratepayers,” Goggin said.
The #coal plant that has run the longest beyond its retirement date is the JH Campbell plant in #Michigan. Starting last May, the #Energy Dept began issuing rolling 90-day orders for the plant to stay open. It has so far cost $80 million to keep running, acc/to filings from Consumers Energy, the #utility that operates the power plant.
“It is our members that ultimately are going to pay for the cost of this order,” Tri-State Generation & Transmission Association CEO Duane Highley said in a statement.
An #Energy Dept spox called #coal fired power “one of the most affordable & reliable sources of #electricity because it can be counted on by #grid operators to meet peak demand” in a statement.
But Goggin & other #energy experts told CNN they have been confounded by the admin’s claims that electricity from coal is affordable.

#Trump is using “emergency powers” to keep aging #coal plants open. It could increase your #electricity bill.
A #Michigan #power plant that has consumed coal in a roaring furnace to generate electricity since the early 1960s was supposed to retire last year. Instead, it’s been kept running for months on the orders of the Trump admin.
And it’s not the only one.
