FirstEnergy closes 104-year-old coal power plant, electric rates to rise (interactive map)
CLEVELAND, Ohio — The last three FirstEnergy’s coal-fired power plants on Lake Erie closed forever today.
The shutdowns come more than three years after the company announced it would close rather than modernize them to meet new clean air standards.
Built generations ago, the three small power plants are in Ashtabula, Eastlake and Cleveland.
