LCG, April 10, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced yesterday a rule proposing several revisions to the federal regulations governing the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) and the beneficial use of CCR. The EPA designed the rule to encourage resource recovery, allow for site-specific considerations in permitting, and provide regulatory relief while continuing to protect human health and the environment. The EPA will be accepting comments on the rule for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and it will also hold an online public hearing on the rule.

AEP to Accelerate Closure of Conesville Plant in Ohio
LCG, October 11, 2018--American Electric Power (AEP) announced plans to retire its coal-fired Conesville electric generating facility in Ohio by May 31, 2020, two years ahead of the previously planned schedule.
The decision to retire the 1,590-MW Conesville plant was driven by operating costs and the results of recent competitive generation auctions. The plant did not clear the PJM Energy Market capacity auction for 2021 to 2022 and only partially cleared the auction for 2020 to 2021.
Units 5 and 6 at the Conesville plant had been scheduled for closure in 2022, but the units will likely be mothballed in May 2019. Unit 4 is rated with the highest capacity (780 MW) at the plant and is expected to continue operations until May 31, 2020.
