但JEA说煤炭微乎其微, 排放量下降, 新煤气厂将提高可靠性。 A Sierra Club report criticizes JEA for keeping coal plants running, but JEA says coal is minimal, emissions are down, and a new gas plant will boost reliability.

一份新的Sierra Club报告给杰克逊维尔的公用事业JEA(JEA)一个清洁能源进步的失败等级,批评它在北边工厂继续经营煤炭厂,敦促退休以拯救5亿美元的客户并防止哮喘病例。 A new Sierra Club report gives JEA, Jacksonville’s utility, a failing grade for clean energy progress, criticizing its continued operation of coal units at the Northside plant and urging retirement to save customers $500 million and prevent asthma cases. JEA对索赔提出异议,指出煤炭仅占燃料组合的1%,北边工厂属于最清洁的工厂之一,自2007年以来减少了53%的碳排放。 JEA disputes the claims, noting coal is just 1% of its fuel mix, the Northside plant is among the cleanest, and it has cut carbon emissions 53% since 2007. 公用事业公司指出,为了提高可靠性,在其封闭煤炭设施工地核准了一座新的天然气厂。 The utility points to a new gas plant approved at the site of its closed coal facility to boost reliability. 尽管受到批评,但JEA在佛罗里达的居住率仍然很低,从10月1日开始将增加5.1%。 Despite the criticism, JEA’s residential rates remain low in Florida, with a 5.1% increase set to begin October 1.
