The Intermountain Power Agency is in the process of shutting down a coal-fired power plant near Delta , Utah .
With little debate during a special legislative session, lawmakers passed HB3004 , which makes a few key changes to the process.
The new bill still allows the state to buy the coal plant and facilitate a sale to someone who would operate it.
Last year , coal produced 16.2% of the nation’s electricity, down from 19.7% the previous year .
There also isn’t adequate transmission capacity connected to IPP to get the power to market.
Legislative leaders say keeping the power plant open is crucial to meeting the growing demand for power.
