FirstEnergy Solutions says ISO-NE’s request to prop up Exelon’s Mystic plant shows why FERC should take emergency action to bail out coal and nuclear.

Since President Trump directed Energy Secretary Rick Perry to prevent additional coal and nuclear plant retirements, the administration has provided no additional details.

President Trump on Friday ordered Energy Secretary Rick Perry to take immediate action to prevent the loss of coal and nuclear plants, saying the economic and environmental challenges forcing their retirements threaten national security.

FERC should let RTO stakeholder processes work and not issue broad and costly new mandates on grid resilience, commenters told the commission.

Grid resilience, apparently, is in the eye of the beholder. But a new report asks the power industry to look to the customer to find the real meaning of the concept.

FirstEnergy Solutions filed for bankruptcy Saturday, two days after asking Energy Secretary Rick Perry to issue an emergency order directing PJM to compensate coal-fired and nuclear power plants.

RTO officials asked FERC to allow their stakeholder processes time to develop additional resilience measures and to require more gas-electric coordination.

Consumer advocates, environmentalists, wind and solar developers and public power called on FERC Tuesday to “review the design of organized wholesale electricity markets, particularly capacity constructs” in its resiliency docket.

PSEG CEO Ralph Izzo expressed confidence that the company’s five nuclear power plants will receive subsidies through New Jersey legislation.

SPP’s Strategic Planning Committee and other stakeholders reviewed a draft of a staff-written response to FERC’s grid resiliency docket.
