More than 60 U.S. coal plants – representing 64,000 MW of coal-fired capacity – are scheduled for decommissioning between now and 2030. Net zero pledges among the power generation industry are now the norm but achieving these goals will require billions of dollars and extensive resources to navigate the complexities of the transition.
In today's climate, companies are accelerating decommissioning dates in the face of economic and regulatory headwinds for coal generation. Organizations must make critical decisions in a timely fashion to minimize costs, maximize revenue and provide reliable power to their customers.
