The Absaloka Mine's customer base has dwindled to just one: the Sherco plant, owned by Xcel Energy. The plant will shut down its three coal units in 2023, 2026, and 2030. That's the end of the road for Absaloka, which mines coal held in trust by the US government for the Crow Tribe.
Westmoreland Coal Company became a privately held company on March 15, 2019. As such, public records for Absoloka Mine production data for 2018-2020 are not available. |
