U.S. Energy Department Mandates Campbell Plant Operation Extension U.S. Energy Department Mandates Campbell Plant Operation Extension The U.S. Department of Energy has directed the Consumers Energy J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant in west Michigan to continue operations, extending its lifespan at least until late August. This directive stems from concerns about potential electricity shortages within the central United States. The originally slated closure date for the plant was May 31. Michigan regulators have strongly opposed this intervention, asserting that maintaining the plant's operation is unwarranted. A spokesperson for the Michigan Public Service Commission emphasized that current electricity production exceeds demand, rendering the plant’s continued operation unnecessary. Nine Michigan students competed in the National Spelling Bee. Michigan's lawmakers and business leaders convened for the Mackinac Policy Conference. Low-income Michigan families with school-age children will receive Summer EBT funds. Planned Parenthood of Michigan anticipates repercussions from federal funding reductions.
