Good to see another large coal plant being added to the closure list - especially one from Indiana - which is one of the strongest coal states.

Closure date is set for 2028 but closure dates have been moving up by a few years lately.

The Rockport announcement comes one day after Colorado-based Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association announced it would move up the closing date for its coal-fired Nucla Station in western Colorado. Tri-State said it plans to retire the plant in early 2020; it originally was set to be closed by year-end 2022.

The latest chart from S&P Global Market Intelligence shows the coal closure "card" beginning to fill out nicely for the next few years. I would expect coal closures to continue at an average of 10+ GW/year over the next decade.
