Lawmakers hear calls for state oversight of proposed 900‑megawatt Seminole pumped‑storage project Advocates urged the Travel, Recreation and Wildlife interim committee to pursue focused state oversight of the proposed Seminole pumped‑storage project, citing information gaps, a late alternative filed in the federal review and risks to the Miracle Mile and nearby wildlife; proponents asked agencies to provide written answers rather than asking the committee to take a yes/no position.

Wyoming lawmakers are calling for closer scrutiny of the massive 900-megawatt Seminole pumped-storage project, highlighting potential environmental risks and unanswered questions from the federal review.

Fluvanna planning commission backs text amendment to allow stack-height waivers for new power plants The commission on Feb. 24 recommended approval of ZTA 2509, a county code change allowing the Board of Supervisors to grant case-by-case waivers or modifications to maximum stack heights for new power-production plants, after hearing technical testimony that taller stacks can reduce ground-level concentrations.

Fluvanna County's Planning Commission is paving the way for taller power plant exhaust stacks to improve air quality by recommending a new zoning amendment.

Shift in System Risk Patterns Driven by Load Growth and Weather Trends Across the 15-State MISO Region A recent study by MISO's Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE) project reveals a significant shift in system risk patterns across the 15-state region, with cold weather and off-peak times becoming increasingly important factors driving energy demand, rather than traditional summer peaks. This change is attributed to rising solar resources, increased load growth, and enhanced models for extreme cold weather, which will impact grid planning reserve margins and inform MISO's efforts to optimize energy production and reduce market losses, including a previously discovered software error that affected LOLE calculations since 2017.

NRG Energy Inc. Expands Power Generation Capacity in Houston Area with New Natural Gas Plant NRG Energy Inc. is investing $617 million in a new 455 megawatt natural gas power plant at its existing Greens Bayou Generating Station in Harris County, Texas, with expected operations starting in 2028. This expansion aims to bolster the state's energy infrastructure and ensure reliable power for residents in the Houston metropolitan area, building on the already significant role Texas plays in domestic energy production. The project, supported by the $5 billion Texas Energy Fund and a low-interest loan from the Public Utility Commission of Texas, is part of a broader effort to enhance the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid and provide dispatchable generation capacity totaling over 3,500 MW.

Pennsylvania to Highlight Energy Production at Regional Grid Conference The state of Pennsylvania will be showcased as a leader in energy production at a regional grid conference in Philadelphia, where officials are highlighting the need for innovative solutions to meet rising electricity demand and address concerns over reliability. Representatives from both parties, including House Republicans, emphasized the importance of prioritizing reliable generation over restrictive policies that have led to nearly 20 percent electricity price increases in Pennsylvania over the past year, with a focus on withdrawing from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and adopting deregulation efforts.
