A federal judge has granted Dominion Energy a preliminary injunction against the stop-work order the Trump administration slapped on the nation’s largest offshore wind project.

Democrats pressed a senior DOE official on recent decisions affecting PJM, including the agency's orders to keep coal plants running, while another agency shut down offshore wind projects nearing completion.

The Organization of PJM States Inc. presented PJM's Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee with a set of assumptions for the RTO's planning process reflecting state legislation and policies.

PJM stakeholders endorsed an expanded dual fuel manual definition, and the Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee was presented with a list of supplemental projects.

Three of the four developers building wind farms in U.S. waters are challenging the Trump administration’s Dec. 22 order suspending all such construction.

An announcement by the U.S. Department of Interior said the Department of Defense had identified wind farms as national security risks and is pausing offshore wind leases.

PJM staff plan to recommend an $11.6 billion package of transmission projects intended to address rising load growth in the east of the RTO’s footprint.

The Virginia SCC approved a smaller rate request than Dominion Energy asked for, but it also approved its plan to set up a new rate class for large customers and new natural gas units to meet rising demand.

PJM stakeholders are to vote on a record-breaking number of proposals on how the RTO should integrate large loads without impacting resource adequacy.

Dominion Energy reported $1 billion in net income in the third quarter, which saw it remain on track with its offshore wind project while its pipeline of data center customers grew yet again.
