Consumers Energy to Permanently Close Michigan Power Plant by 2025
Consumers Energy has announced plans to permanently close the J.H. Campbell Generating Complex in western Michigan by 2025, following an unexpected extension of operation due to Trump-era emergency directives intended to ensure grid reliability. The utility estimates it has incurred substantial financial losses, totaling approximately $80 million over four months, and faces ongoing high-cost operations if the emergency orders remain in place, casting doubt on its long-term financial sustainability.
