Rick Perry acted within his authority in ordering FERC to consider his NOPR to support coal and nuclear, but he has no power to make it provide the relief.

In his latest column, Steve Huntoon lambasts the Energy Department's proposed rule directing FERC to prop up uneconomic baseload power plants.

PJM continued its effort to convince stakeholders of the wisdom of investing in system resilience at its Grid 20/20 conference.

The term "resilience" can mean many different things to different sectors, as discussions at PJM's Grid 20/20 conference demonstrated.

DOE's Electricity Advisory Committee heard recommendations from a National Academies' study on ways to prepare for “large-area, long-duration” outages.

A study for the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) spotlighting the “resiliency” of coal-fired generation echoes the DOE's findings.

Coal's best hope may be that FERC adopt the DOE grid study's recommendation to lean on RTOs to value on-site fuel storage as a proxy for resiliency.

The U.S. Energy Department’s study acknowledges its limited authority over wholesale markets, leaving it to FERC and RTOs to act on its recommendations.

At their July 11th, 2017 meeting, PJM presented Operating Committee members with a proposed pro forma agreement for dynamic schedules.
