Trump Administration Issues Emergency Order to Keep Michigan Coal Plant Operational
In a significant move to secure energy grid reliability, the Trump administration has issued an emergency order instructing that the J.H. Campbell coal power plant in Michigan must remain operational despite its impending closure. The decision comes just days before the plant was set to shut down, extending its operation by 90 days to ensure continued power availability through the summer months. Energy Secretary has emphasized the importance of the plant in maintaining grid stability, prompting the intervention to delay its retirement. This order reflects ongoing efforts to support coal-powered energy sources amid discussions on long-term energy strategies.
