Midwest Gen to retire Chicago coal-fired plants

摘要

Under the agreement, Midwest will retire its 326-MW Fisk coal-fired power plant by the end of 2012 and its 532-MW Crawford facility by the end of 2014. The retirements are subject to approval by the PJM Interconnection, according to a joint statement released by Midwest and Emanuel's office on Wednesday. The majority of the output from Midwest's six baseload coal plants in northern Illinois is sold into the PJM Interconnection, according to the company's website.
