Colorado air-quality regulators have walked back plans to require the early closure of three Colorado coal-fired power plants, including the Craig Station in Moffat County that is responsible for hundreds of jobs in northwest Colorado. The Air Quality Control Commission on Wednesday unanimously reversed a preliminary decision it made last month to require the Craig Station, the Platte River Power Authorityâs Rawhide plant and Colorado Springsâ Ray Nixon plant to close by the end of 2028 to address regional haze that impacts national parks and wilderness areas. Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association operates the Craig Station, and has planned to close the plant by the end of 2029. The other two plants reportedly have planned 2030 closing dates.
