New England is finally saying goodbye to its last coal-fired power plant. Granite Shore Power has announced it’s shutting down the Merrimack Station in New Hampshire by June 2028 – a move that comes after years of protests and lawsuits against the plant.
New Hampshire will be the 16th state in the U.S. to go coal-free – with New England being the second coal-free region in the country.
