U.S. Department of Energy orders Eddystone plant to stay on line fourth time
U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright issued an emergency order directing grid operator PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM), and Constellation Energy Corporation, owner of the Eddystone Generating Station, to ensure Units 3 and 4 of the plant remain in operation through May 24. The units were originally slated to shut down on May 31, 2025.
Electric customers to pay $70 million a year to keep Eddystone power plant open
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission is involved in a process to allow electric grid operator PJM to charge its ratepayers across 13 states an estimated $70 million a year to keep the Eddystone oil-and-gas power plant operating. The DOE ordered the plant, on the brink of retirement, to keep running for two three-month periods this summer and fall and it is unclear whether the order will be made permanent. The Trump Administration plans to order Forty coal plants across the country to keep operating as well.
Commentary: Can community solar save us from PJM’s grid mismanagement?
