WPS Niagara Generating Facility is a coal-fired power station in Niagara Falls, New York.
On November 15, 2019, the Somerset Operating Company announced plans to close the plant in 90 days. Plant owner Riesling Power LLC cited stricter state emissions rules as well as "deteriorating market conditions." The closure will mark the end of coal-fired energy generation in the state.[1]
