JH Campbell Coal-Fired Power Plant Operation Extension

under operation extension

The JH Campbell coal-fired power plant in West Olive, Michigan, was scheduled to close in May 2025 but was forced to remain operational by the Trump administration through emergency orders. The plant's operation was extended twice, each time by 90 days, to ensure grid stability and prevent power outages, despite opposition from the plant operator and local residents. The extension has significant cost implications, estimated at $1 million per day, impacting local ratepayers.
