U.S. declares national emergency on Cuba; White House readies tariffs as island reels from fuel shortages President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency over Cuba and authorizing tariffs on countries that supply petroleum to the island. U.S. politicians and exiled Cuban leaders welcomed the move while Havana called it a 'brutal act'; reporters cited data saying Cuba has only 15–20 days of oil reserves and multiple power plants offline.

Trump's new executive order on Cuba escalates tensions with tariffs aimed at petroleum suppliers, raising fears of a deepening humanitarian crisis on the island.

NERC Warns of Heightened Risk of Energy Shortages During Extreme Winter Conditions A recent assessment by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has raised concerns about the potential for energy shortages across much of North America during extreme winter conditions, with prolonged cold snaps posing a significant challenge to current energy resources. The evolving mix of energy resources and increasing demand have created vulnerabilities in electricity supply, particularly due to the inconsistent application of freeze protection measures that affect natural gas delivery to power generators. To mitigate these risks, NERC has outlined several recommendations for reliability coordinators, generator owners, balancing authorities, and state regulators to address potential supply shortfalls, high generator outage rates, and underestimates in short-term load forecasts.

Kentucky Utility and State Attorney General Challenge PJM's Plan for Emergency Power Plant Expenses A dispute is unfolding between a Kentucky utility company, EKPC, and PJM Interconnection over the allocation of expenses related to the operation of emergency power plants mandated by the Department of Energy to maintain grid stability. The core issue at hand is whether costs should be borne equally across the entire PJM region or only by those directly affected by an emergency situation, with EKPC arguing that PJM's cost allocation method disregards this fundamental principle and spreads unfair burdens across the whole region.
