The Trump administration issued an emergency order under Federal Power Act Section 202(c), requiring Constellation Energy's Eddystone Generation Station Units 3 and 4 in Pennsylvania to remain operational. This intervention came just a day before the natural gas plant was slated for retirement.
The order determined that an emergency existed in the PJM grid due to a shortage of electric energy generation facilities, citing PJM's forecasts of possible reserve shortfalls. This action ensures the continued availability of these units to maintain grid reliability.
This regulatory directive underscores the critical role of Constellation's assets in ensuring grid stability and meeting electricity demand. The order is set to expire on August 28, 2025, and allows for rate recovery for the continued operation.
