Oil & Gas Journal: A coalition of six national energy trade associations, including three from the oil and gas industry, submitted a legal analysis to the US Department of Energy opposing federal use of emergency authority to provide a long-term subsidy for aging and uneconomic electric power plants that would otherwise retire.

Rick Perry on Mar. 29 to issue an emergency order to the PJM regional power transmission organization that would secure the long-term capacity of FES and other utilities’ nuclear and coal-fired plants in the region to compensate their owners “for the full benefits they provide to energy markets and the public at large, including fuel security and diversity.”
