Regulators were concerned that with the dramatic decline in the cost of renewable energy, maturation of energy storage and rapidly changing customer demand, such a major gas plant investment could become a stranded, uneconomic asset in the future.

Renewable energy prices have fallen so fast that it’s now cheaper to build new wind or solar than run existing coal plants in most parts of the U.S. Meanwhile, pro-climate governors have recharged state energy policy, with eight states plus Washington, D.C. now targeting 100 percent clean or renewable energy. America’s electricity system is rapidly decarbonizing , moving away from fossil fuels toward clean energy.
