From WSOC TV in North Carolina:
The 2050 targets in Duke (Energy's) new effort to address issues surrounding climate change match some of the most aggressive carbon-reduction plans in the industry. That will require Duke to speed up the closure of its remaining coal plants, says Diane Denton, vice president for state energy policy:
HERE is a list of coal fired plants nationwide that are being closed down, i.e. "retired".
UPDATE: A TVA coal-fired plant in Stevenson Alabama was "retired" on Friday 9-27-19. The utility used explosives to destroy the plant that started producing power in 1952. WATV-TV as the story HERE.

"Duke ... recognizes that reducing carbon dioxide emissions is a critical part of addressing the global challenge of climate change," she says. "And we believe that reducing risks associated with a changing climate, including greenhouse gas emissions and hardening the system against more extreme weather, is good for our customers and good for our business."
