New Jersey shut down six coal-fired power plants overall, and the state no longer has any coal plants operating. The last two coal plants in New Jersey closed in 2022, and earlier closures included Hudson, Mercer, B.L. England, Logan, and Chambers-related coal generation sites.

Quick scoop

  • 2 coal plants closed in 2017: Hudson and Mercer.
  • 1 coal plant closed in 2019: B.L. England.
  • 2 more coal plants closed in 2022: Logan and Chambers Cogeneration.
  • That brings the total to 6 coal plant shutdowns in New Jersey.

Note

Some articles group these as “power plants” more broadly, which can include nuclear and other facilities, but the coal-specific count is six.
