Despite the Supreme Court ruling, CPS Energy said it remains committed to closing its last coal plant by 2030 and decarbonizing its generation portfolio.
Bonnie Arbittier / San Antonio ReportThe Supreme Court’s ruling last week that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not have the authority to mandate carbon emission reductions from power plants will not extend the life of CPS Energy’s coal plant, utility officials said this week.
Last Thursday, the court ruled in a 6-3 decision that the Clean Air Act does not give the EPA the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel power plants such as CPS Energy’s J.K. Spruce coal plant or its O.W. Sommers gas-fired units. The City of San Antonio has set climate goals through its Climate Action & Adaptation Plan, which it adopted in 2019, the statement notes, “and we at CPS Energy are continuing to work to meet our community’s expectations to achieve the CAAP’s objectives.”
