US Department of Energy Authorizes Oil-Fired Power Plant to Operate Beyond Pollution Limits The US Department of Energy has authorized the continued operation of an oil-fired power plant in Maryland through December 2024, granting PJM Interconnection LLC and Talen Energy Corp. permission to exceed pollution limits due to potential electricity shortages anticipated during cold weather conditions. The move aims to bolster supply and prevent blackouts for approximately 65 million Americans across 13 states and Washington D.C., building on a prior authorization granted earlier in the year to address concerns about power generation capacity and resource adequacy.
