(WBAP/KLIF) — A Texas-based company is closing its remaining coal-fired power plants in Illinois. Vistra Energy had already shuttered four Ilinois power plants in Canton, Coffeen, Havana and Hennepin and agreed to close another near Peoria as part of a legal settlement.
However, the Houston-based company announced that it plans to close its four remaining Illinois coal-fired plants within a decade, including Baldwin power plant in Randolph county, as part of a plan to transition to renewable energy and to reduce the company’s carbon footprint.
It’ll also close three power plants in Ohio.
