“Our state’s coal-fired power plants, which account for billions of dollars of economic activity and thousands of high-paying jobs, provide some of the most affordable rates for household and industrial power consumption in the nation.”

Collectively West Virginia's coal-fired manufacturing facilities and coal mining industry represent a $14 billion business in West Virginia.

“We are proud to provide the reliable and resilient power supply that business, industry and the public rely on to keep our economy flowing,” said Hamilton. “In this time of world unrest and political uncertainly, coal provides a foundational role in our everyday lives.”
