FACTBOX-U.S. coal units to retire as EPA tightens rules

Sept 26 (Reuters) - Regulations being formulated by state
governments and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to cut
air and water pollution and control the handling of coal waste
are expected to force the retirement of 30,000 to 70,000 MW of
coal and other fossil-fired generation, industry studies show.

The following is a partial list of U.S. coal plants that
energy companies expect to retire in the coming years. Some
units may be converted to burn alternative fuels or be replaced
with natural gas-fired generation.
