Notes
2012: This is only remaining coal power plant in Oregon. They're considering converting some of their capacity to burn any of 13 types of crops after using an incinerator-like technology (pyrolysis or torrefaction) to convert them to a charcoal-like form PGE hopes to avoid paying $500 million in retrofit upgrades by closing in 2020 instead of 2040. Regulators assert that PGE must pay for the upgrades in order for the plant to be in compliance with air quality rules.
