The Michigan coal plant kept online by an emergency order from the U.S. Department of Energy cost $29 million to run in a little over a month.

Growing power demand from data centers dominated conversations at the NARUC Summer Policy Summit, where industry members and Trump administration officials advocated for the rapid addition of fossil fuel resources and infrastructure to meet load growth.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin proudly told NARUC attendees the agency’s proposed rescission of the 2009 endangerment finding would be the “largest deregulatory action in the history of the country.”

Ameren Illinois argued to FERC that it should have dibs on sections of two competitive long-range transmission projects worth almost $2 billion from MISO’s second portfolio, claiming Illinois’ “first in the field” doctrine is tantamount to a right of first refusal law.

MISO expects to exceed its quarterly project maximum when it begins accepting the first generation project proposals under its interconnection queue express lane.

The Department of Energy issued an emergency order to lift annual run-hour restrictions on the H.A. Wagner Generating Station Unit 4 located outside of Baltimore to address a shortage of generation in PJM.

EPA is proposing to rescind its 2009 endangerment finding, which qualifies greenhouse gases as pollutants and has been used by Democratic presidential administrations to regulate emissions from power plants and other sources.

Everyone knows we need more electricity, and it’s painfully clear PJM is not capable of responding to increased demand, say energy consultants Brad Viator and Alison Williams.
