The company is so big and its purchasing power is so huge... it has the power to keep prices low for its customers.

You have a company that cannot sell its power and customers who are going to have higher prices to pay. That's the price of shutting down the plant. I hope people are happy they can breathe better, but nothing comes cheaply in energy.
