Three West Virginia power plants have sought a presidential exemption from compliance with an updated air pollution rule.
Mon Power’s Harrison and Fort Martin power stations, and Dominion Energy’s Mount Storm Power Station have sought a two-year exemption from the Trump administration for the Mercury and Air Toxics rule.
The Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency updated the Obama-era rule last year. Under an executive order signed this week by President Donald Trump, power plants can ask for the exemption.
Grid operator PJM, which includes West Virginia and 12 other states, wrote to the White House in support of the exemptions. PJM cited grid reliability as a concern, with an expected increase in demand for electricity.
The Trump administration took other actions this week aimed at preventing the retirement of coal-fired power plants.
However, Mon Power told investors in February that its long-range plans for Harrison and Fort Martin included converting them to natural gas, which is cheaper and more efficient than coal.
