Each utility is also expected to eliminate coal-fired electricity by the end of 2025 or face a $60/MWh penalty, and further to reach 100% renewable and non-emitting resource portfolio by the year 2045. Doing so means slightly higher costs, as existing coal can be run more economically absent a price on carbon than existing natural gas.
