Iam scratching my head. Why in October 2021 would anyone buy a coal plant (+debt) which will be shut down pronto?


They are playing the regulated assets game. They bought the rate base at a 1.3x multiple (which is low relative to other transactions) and they'll invest in the rate base to convert the coal generating facility to "green" energy, increasing the rate base to generate better future cashflows.
