ST. MARYS, W.Va. -- West Virginia regulators are questioning FirstEnergy Corp.'s plan to close three aging coal-fired power plants.
The state Public Service Commission has ordered the company to keep the Albright, Willow Island and Rivesville power stations operable while it reviews the plan.
Akron, Ohio-based FirstEnergy plans to retire the plants by Sept. 1. The company attributes the shutdowns to new federal environmental regulations that are designed to reduce emissions of toxic pollutants from coal- and oil-fired plants.
In its order, the PSC said it wants to review the factors that justify closing the plants, the impact on customers and what options were considered.
FirstEnergy spokesman Mark Durbin told the Parkersburg News and Sentinel that the company is working to answer the PSC's questions.
We would like to recognize the Friends and Families of Coal group for their efforts with the "Keep the Christmas Lights On" group ... They are showing the true spirit of this holiest of seasons. On their own they have raised more than $25,000 to help unemployed coal miners and their families. Much more is needed to make sure that no coal miner's family faces a Christmas without food, without happiness and feeling alone.
