The closing date for Titus Station, the coal-powered electrical plant in Cumru Township, has been moved up to Sept. 1, David Gaier, spokesman for the East Region of NRG Energy Inc., Princeton, N.J., said Wednesday.
The plant’s previous owner, GenOn Energy Inc., announced in March 2012 that it would shutter the plant in 2015.
NRG Energy took over Titus Dec. 14 when it merged with GenOn Energy.
Gaier said the plant was initially going to be closed because of the millions of dollars it would cost to make the coal-powered plant comply with recent federal Environmental Protection Agency regulations.
