Regulators will consider a rate proposal by two FirstEnergy subsidiaries that would keep a West Virginia coal-fired power plant open past its scheduled May 31 closing date.<\/p>\n

The state Public Service Commission<\/a> said Friday it has scheduled an April 23 evidentiary hearing on the request by Monongahela Power and Potomac Edison. The companies are seeking to enter into a letter of intent with the operator of the Pleasants Power Station along the Ohio River to run the plant from May until June 2024 while exploring a long-term solution.<\/p>\n

Houston-based Energy Transition and Environmental Management<\/a> is currently leasing the plant from the previous owner, Akron, Ohio-based Energy Harbor.<\/p>\n

The FirstEnergy subsidiaries are seeking a surcharge for all customers that would raise $36 million to recover costs to keep the plant open for 12 months. Ratepayer and environmental advocates oppose the plan.<\/p>\n

State lawmakers in 2019 voted overwhelmingly<\/a> to give the struggling power plant a $12.5 million tax break. Local and state officials have said closing the plant would devastate the local economy, coal producers and other industries.<\/p>\n

The 43-year-old plant employs about 150 workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
