Consumers Energy has announced it will phase out all coal power by 2025. Spokesperson Josh Piorcek tells WSJM News the plan will be good for the environment and customers.
“Under today’s plan that we announced, we do expect our customers will save in total about $650 million between now and 2040,” Piorcek said.
Piorcek says the Consumers Energy plan makes it the first large electricity provider to drop coal completely.
“Right now, we have about 19% of our energy coming from coal. So by 2025, we’re going to eliminate that and to replace it, we’re going to purchase four natural gas plants.”
