Company bids less than a penny per ton in biggest US coal sale in over a decade
Navajo Transitional Energy Co. bid less than one cent per ton for 167 million tons of coal reflecting declining demand as utilities shift to natural gas and renewables, analysts said.
- A Navajo tribe-owned company bid $186,000, less than a penny per ton, to lease 167 million tons of coal in Montana, the biggest U.S. coal sale in over a decade.
- The sale is going forward despite the government shutdown, as the Trump administration did not furlough workers responsible for reviewing fossil fuel projects.
- Economists say new coal plants are unlikely to be built despite Trump's push for coal, meaning much of the sold coal may never be mined.
