Winter Reliability Concerns Spur Fresh DOE Intervention for PJM, MISO
- •The Department of Energy (DOE) issued Section 202(c) emergency orders for Consumers Energy's 1,420-MW J.H. Campbell coal plant in MISO and Constellation's 760-MW Eddystone Units 3 & 4 in PJM.
- •These federal interventions, occurring in late November, aim to ensure winter reliability by compelling the continued operation of existing coal-fired generation units.
- •The actions highlight persistent grid reliability concerns in major RTOs, signaling potential shortfalls in dispatchable capacity and the need for robust generation solutions for developers and large power consumers.
