New UserNRG to close two coal-fired power plants in Illinois, including in Waukegan
21 Jun 2021
NRG Energy is closing two of its coal-fired power plants in Illinois, including one in Waukegan that residents have protested in favor of its closure for years due to health concerns.
The company cited low market prices and their transition away from coal as the reason for the closures.
“Closing these plants was a difficult, but necessary decision,” NRG Energy said in a statement.
The affected plants in Illinois are in Romeoville and Waukegan. They will close in June 2022.
The Waukegan plant, which is at 401 East Greenwood Avenue along Lake Michigan, employs 65 people.
“Employees will have the opportunity to apply for open positions within NRG,” the company said.
“We understand the impact this decision will have on our employees and the local communities. Employees will have the opportunity to apply for open positions within NRG,” the statement added.
