Ohio legislators approved a bill to subsidize FirstEnergy Solutions’ nuclear plants on Lake Erie, providing a lifeline to the industry in PJM.

The Ohio Senate passed the Clean Air Act to curb state renewable energy mandates and create subsidies for nuclear and coal plants.

The clock may have run out for Ohio lawmakers to rescue nuclear power plants along Lake Erie, as a concession to renewable supporters failed to win a vote.

Ohio lawmakers are being asked to trade ratepayer-funded renewable energy mandates for the jobs and carbon-free energy of FirstEnergy’s nuclear plants.
