When Indiana's third-largest utility, NIPSCO, analyzed the economics of its power plants last year, it decided to shift away from coal-fired power plants to renewable sources of electricity generation. Coal companies are fighting back.
A northern Indiana utility has added another nail into coal's coffin, announcing the retirement of four coal-fired power plants and a turn to renewable energy.
Sunrise Coal owns and operates an underground coal mine located in Carlisle, Indiana that produces 3 million tons of bituminous coal annually. Approximately 90 percent of our coal is sold to utilities within the state of Indiana.
