"New England's Transition to Renewable Energy: Last Coal Plants to Close by 2028"
TL;DR Summary
New England's last running coal plant, Merrimack Station, will cease operations by 2028 as part of a settlement agreement, with the Schiller Station also committing to shut down its coal-fired generators by 2025. The plants will be transformed into renewable energy parks, with plans for solar and battery storage. Advocates see this as a significant win for the environment and public health, while the company aims to transition to clean energy facilities and optimize the grid for reliability without current plans to use gas.
