The National Coal Council, which includes Warrior Met Coal (HCC) executives, urged the Department of Energy to provide financial support. The council’s report contains 19 recommendations for the Trump administration.
Proposed measures include loan guarantees and grants for existing and new coal plants. The council also requested financial backing for West Coast export terminals to improve access to Asian markets.
President Trump reinstated the council last year after it lapsed during the previous administration. This move signals a favorable political environment and a potential financial tailwind for Warrior Met Coal.
