Customer ServiceSwitching 90% of the world’s CPPS to renewables may well represent the last opportunity to get back on track for 1.5° - and mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. The SwitchCoal study shows feasibility on the economic, manufacturing and timing levels for switching 90% of the world’s coal plants to renewables. Let’s communicate solutions.
The polluting coal plant is on its way out, scheduled for retirement in the next five years. It’s generated billions of dollars’ worth of electricity in its 50-year life, but the most valuable of its parts is the plug — how it connects to the grid that powers our homes.
Switching your Coal-Fired Power Plant to the lower operating costs of Solar-Wind-Battery offers a profitable and sustainable business opportunity. Switching 90% of the world’s CPPS to renewables may well represent the last opportunity to get back on track for 1.5° - and mitigate the worst impacts of climate change.
Conversion of old coal plant sites to new storage and renewable projects is happening in New Jersey, Nevada, Louisiana, and elsewhere across the country.
Replacing the world’s coal-fired power plants with renewables is the profitable path to a cleaner future. If 90% of all Coal plants are switched to renewables, we keep 1.5°C within reach. This is possible. And profitable. Current projections show that the global GHG emission target for the 1.5 degree pathway will be missed by 22 Gt CO2e by 2030.
The project has the potential to bolster overall local economic health by contributing more than $18.5 million in property taxes over the project’s proposed 40-year lifetime, helping to fill the tax revenue gap left by retired coal mines. For more information, email [email protected].
