CPS Energy officials Monday said the utility will consider closing the Spruce coal plant ahead of schedule and then opted to withhold from the public details of what such a move would cost ratepayers.
CPS has long faced criticism for operating the J.K. Spruce coal plant, which emitted over 7 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2019 the sixth-highest amount of emissions among more than 300 power plants in Texas, according to the Energy Information Administration.
