Several States Contest Federal Orders Keeping Coal-Fired Power Plants Open
Authored by John Haughey via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
A three-judge federal appeals panel is expected to issue a decision by year's end on a lawsuit challenging Energy Secretary Chris Wright's May 2025 emergency order that prevented a Michigan utility from closing a 64-year-old coal-fired power plant.
The R.M. Schahfer Generating Station's two-coal fired electricity generators in Wheatfield, Indiana, built in 1983 and 1986, were scheduled to close on Dec. 31, 2025, but remain operating under emergency orders issued by Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Northern Indiana Public Service Company
How the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rules in Michigan v. DOE after hearing May 15 oral arguments could prove precedential in deciding three similar cases–including two before the same court. It could also resolve a May 9 lawsuit filed in Seattle's U.S. District Court by 16 Democratic state attorneys ...

Largest US Electric Grid Gets Approval To Curtail Data Centers During Hot Weather
By Ethan Howland of Utility Dive
Power plant and transmission owners often take their facilities offline in the spring for maintenance so they are prepared for the summer, PJM noted. The largest US electricity grid operator said it expected power plants totaling more than 40 GW would be offline for planned outages on May 18.
An Amazon Web Services data center in Stone Ridge, Va. The PJM Interconnection will be able to curtail data centers and other large loads that have backup generation under an emergency order issued May 18, 2026, by the U.S. Department of Energy
“The projected level of generation outages coupled with the forecasted demand raises a significant risk of emergency conditions that could jeopardize electric reliability and public safety,” PJM said.
The curtailments would be a last resort before ordering rolling blackouts, according to the DOE's order, issued under the Federal Power Act's secti...

Data Centers Could Be 33% Of Commercial Building Electricity Use By 2050: EIA
By Diana DiGangi of UtilityDive
The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that data centers will “increasingly skew more energy intensive” and that electricity consumed by them will increase across all commercial building stock, with their servers growing to make up an estimated 22% to 33% of commercial building electricity use by 2050, according to an April report.
In its 2026 Annual Energy Outlook, EIA modeled various scenarios to explore how much data centers might drive demand in the medium and long term. In its high electricity demand scenario, the agency assumed “growth in the installed stock of AI servers follows an exponential trend through 2050” and didn't make any assumptions about increases in computational efficiency beyond historical trends.
"These assumptions lead data center server energy use alone to grow to 818 billion kilowatt hours in 2050 in the High Electricity Demand ca...
