The purpose of this report was to inform policymakers and other interested stakeholders regarding the future of the Brayton Point power plant in Southeastern Massachusetts.
The report projected a bleak future for the 50-year-old coal-fired facility, finding that the once profitable power plant’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were plummeting due to a perfect storm of market conditions that are projected to continue at least through the end of the decade.
