Natural Gas Could Get Priority Over Renewable Energy in Largest U.S. Grid: NYT

  • Federal regulators on Tuesday approved a proposal from the nation’s largest electric grid operator that could effectively give new natural gas power plants priority in connecting to the grid over renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
  • The commission said it was approving the plan because it “reasonably addresses” a potential shortfall in the supply of power as demand for electricity increases.
  • “The proposal neither mandates nor prohibits the development of any particular generating facility, and it neither authorizes nor requires the adoption of a specific mix of generation resources,” the commission said in approving the proposal from PJM Interconnection, which runs the country’s largest electric grid serving 65 million people in 13 states, including Illinois, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
  • The plan approved by FERC will allow PJM to give 50 new power plants a priority in securing a connection to its grid based on the plants’ size and ability to provide electricity around the clock.
