Vote on Coal-Fired Martin Drake Power Plant Closure is Part of Growing Trend

SUGAR LAND--January 11, 2016--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) governing board voted by a two-thirds majority in November to close all three operational units at the coal-fired Martin Drake Power Plant by 2035. In December, however, the board voted again on the future of one of the units: the vote was tied 4-4, and another vote is expected at the upcoming board meeting on January 20.
