Dolet Hills Power Station
Dolet Hills Power Station is a coal-fired power plant set for retirement in 2021.[1][2] The plant had previously been proposed for a 2026 closure.[1] The plant is operated by SWEPCO and and is located in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana.[1]
The closure of the plant in part due to Sierra Club action that sought to prevent further mining of lignite coal as a fuel and a settlement agreement concluded in December 2019.[1][3] The plant is the 300th coal plant to retire as part of the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign.[2] It is estimated that the closure will save customers 60 million dollars a year in electric costs in the region when replaced with renewables.[2]
