Settlement Reached for Utah Coal Plant
Deseret Electric Power Cooperative (Deseret), WildEarth Guardians, the Sierra Club and federal regulators have reached an agreement establishing limits on the amount of coal that the Bonanza Power Plant, located in Uintah County, Utah, may burn. The limits imposed by the deal could result in the early retirement of the Bonanza Power Plant, but Deseret believes the deal will allow for an energy mix transition that occurs in a sensible manner over time.
