Talen Energy
PJM stakeholders are to vote on a record-breaking number of proposals on how the RTO should integrate large loads without impacting resource adequacy.
The U.S. Department of Energy approved PJM's request to extend an order allowing Talen Energy to continue operating is oil-fired H.A. Wagner Unit 4 beyond the 438 hours it is permitted to operated each year.
PJM has withdrawn its non-capacity backed load proposal, shifting the focus of its solution for rising large load additions to creating a parallel resource interconnection queue and reworking price-responsive demand.
In a surprise move, President Donald Trump will tap Democratic Commissioner David Rosner to become FERC chair, multiple news outlets have reported.
Talen and Amazon Web have entered into a PPA for the Susquehanna nuclear generator to supply 1.9 GW to the tech company.
FERC approved settlements on reliability must run deals that will keep the Brandon Shores Generating Station and the H.A. Wagner Generating Station in Maryland running until May 31, 2029.
Stakeholders urged FERC to consider reliability and consumer costs when weighing approaches to co-located large loads.
The rehearing order was approved on the same lines as the original rejection, with Commissioners Mark Christie and Lindsay See in support and Willie Phillips dissenting.
In comments on a FERC investigation, PJM said there are several pathways to bolster the ability for large consumers to benefit from co-locating with generators.
Even if demand forecasts from new data centers are twice as large as what ends up being built, the growth is going to be at a scale where the power industry’s regulations need to change to keep up with it, former FERC Commissioner Allison Clements said.
