“We are excited to announce the acquisition of the two retired coal facilities in Mt. Pleasant and Fairfield and pleased to continue our partnership with Luminant. Today’s announcement is the first step in a multiyear process that will ultimately focus on redevelopment of the sites and the two communities. ”

As they begin demolition, CLP said they will work closely with state and local officials, as well as community stakeholders, to begin to develop plans for potential long-term use at the sites.
CLP will address the environmental needs at the sites, including remediation, groundwater monitoring, abatement, decommissioning and demolition of the facilities.
The Monticello site, completed in 1978, was a three-unit power plant located in Titus County. The two-unit Big Brown Power Plant opened in 1971 northeast of Fairfield. Both sites were retired in early 2018.
