AEC Senior Researcher Tyler Comings testified before the West Virginia Public Service Commission on the economics of the Fort Martin and Harrison coal units. Mr. Comings found that the costs of the units would likely exceed their market value, and therefore the units should be subjected to a forward-looking analysis prior to any further investments. He also recommended that the owner of the units be required to report on the impact of their coal contract obligations on the operating decisions.
