While First Energy announced that they would be closing Hatfields Ferry and the Mitchell, PA power plants on October 1, we are awaiting a FERC review on reliability.  Our concern is that, if FERC concludes that there is a need for that generation capacity to assure reliability of the grid, FERC could order the plant to remain open under what is called an RMR (Reliability Must Run) Order.  In that case, First Energy would be required to keep the plant open, and install whatever additional pollution controls are needed to meet new EPA standards for Mercury and Air Toxics.   This would mean several hundred million dollars of scrubbers, which would be recovered from us ratepayers.  And because the plant is old and inefficient, the cost of operation per kilowatt will be even more expensive.  You may recall that we are still paying for the SO2 scrubbers at Hatfields Ferry, adding several hundred million more for mercury scrubbers to a plant that is already uneconomic seems like a very bad deal.
