In 2020, Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO), a subsidiary of the Ohio-based American Electric Power (AEP), announced it would close H.W. Pirkey Power Plant, a large 721-megawatt coal plant located in Hallsville, Texas, in March 2023.
Overall, the plant shutdown is projected to lead to a loss of $22 million in sales and economic output in the region, according to local outlet the Marshall News Messenger. It will also spark a $2 million to 3 million loss for local school districts that rely on tax revenue from the plant for funding. The lost revenue could lead to dozens of job losses at local schools.
Currently the US has 400 coal-fired power plants. In the name of "saving the environment" Biden will close more.
