Energy Department Faces New Legal Limits On Grid Emergency Power
The Department of Energy is now subject to new legal restrictions on its authority to invoke emergency powers over the US power grid. The rule constrains how and when the department can order grid interventions during declared emergencies, a power that has drawn scrutiny in recent years when used to keep power plants running that would otherwise close.
Why now: The limits affect a contested federal power over electricity markets that has been invoked in recent energy policy disputes.
