Earlier this year, the MPSC approved a settlement agreement on Consumers Energy’s integrated resource plan that commits the company to retire all its remaining coal-fired power plants by 2025, construct no new fossil gas infrastructure, and build large amounts of new solar power between now and 2040.

Cheswick is one of only a half-dozen remaining coal-fired plants in Pennsylvania, and the state Department of Environmental Protection predicts that none will operate after 2025. Even though the plant is brought online only during times of high demand, and thus high prices, it is still one of the biggest air polluters in the county.

Further delay means having to cut emission much more rapidly to make up for lost time. That could turn the goal of getting to net zero emissions by 2050 from merely very difficult to virtually impossible. Because cutting carbon emissions also reduces emissions of deadly particulates, delay could also cost thousands of lives.
