Craig Power Plant Advocacy
In December 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy issued an emergency order under the Federal Power Act requiring the Craig Unit 1 coal plant in Colorado to keep operating until March 30, 2026, citing rising demand and loss of other power sources. This decision may increase costs for local utility providers like SMPA, potentially raising energy bills for the community. The order is part of a broader effort to extend coal plant operations, and residents are being encouraged to contact their representative to oppose the financial burden on local ratepayers.
