Consumers Energy Sues Over Coal-Fired Power Plant in Michigan Consumers Energy has initiated a legal action concerning the J.H. Campbell Generating Complex, a coal-fired power plant located in Ottawa County, Michigan. The plant was initially planned for decommissioning but an order from the Trump administration mandated that it remain in operation. Now, Consumers Energy is asserting that the financial burden of keeping the plant running shouldn't be exclusively passed on to Michigan ratepayers. Instead, the utility argues that costs should be distributed across a wider geographic area encompassing the Midwestern region. This position was formally presented in a legal filing submitted on June 6th. The question of how to cover the plant's operational expenses following the Trump administration’s intervention remains a central issue. Additional reporting can be found on mlive.com.
