The Peabody Plan is a pro-coal lobbying agenda promoted by Peabody Energy, one of the world's largest coal mining company.[1][2]

Lobbying the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners
In a keynote presentation to the July 2011 annual meeting of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, Peabody Energy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gregory Boyce used the Peabody Plan to argue that what was needed in the US is a "pro-people, pro-business economy" and that it wanted "at least half of new generation comes from advanced coal plants".[3]
While calling for a "a balanced portfolio of fuels", Boyce told those at the conference that what was needed was a "create a pro-electricity regulatory environment that keeps energy affordable for job creation and economic growth." He also argued that gas and renewables should be relegated to a support role for coal and nuclear. Boyce argued that what was needed was to "encourage new coal and nuclear units for baseload electricity and use gas and renewables for variable power" and that commissioners should "advocate for continual upgrades of the existing fleet."[3]
