New Englandโs last coal plant has stopped operating, according to its owners
The last coal-fired power plant in New England, Merrimack Station, has stopped running.
With the closure of that facility, the region is poised to become the first in the United States without a coal plant on its grid (though New York state, which has its own regional grid operator, stopped burning coal in 2020).Granite Shore Power, the company that owns the coal plant in Bow, New Hampshire, said they ceased commercial operations Sept. 12, about a year and a half since they announced they would retire their facility by 2028 as part of a settlement agreement with environmental groups.
