flag A Sierra Club report criticizes JEA for keeping coal plants running, but JEA says coal is minimal, emissions are down, and a new gas plant will boost reliability.

flag A new Sierra Club report gives JEA, Jacksonville’s utility, a failing grade for clean energy progress, criticizing its continued operation of coal units at the Northside plant and urging retirement to save customers $500 million and prevent asthma cases. flag JEA disputes the claims, noting coal is just 1% of its fuel mix, the Northside plant is among the cleanest, and it has cut carbon emissions 53% since 2007. flag The utility points to a new gas plant approved at the site of its closed coal facility to boost reliability. flag Despite the criticism, JEA’s residential rates remain low in Florida, with a 5.1% increase set to begin October 1.
