Rehearing Request of DOE Attempt to Evicerate Electricity Export Regulations
By Tyson Slocum
In a clumsy effort to try and resolve the conflict between Trump’s push to force consumers to bail out uneconomic coal power plants under Section 202c of the Federal Power Act, and its obligations to only authorize electricity exports to Canada/Mexico under 202e, the U.S. Department of Energy has issued a final rule eviscerating its electricity export application procedures. We have discussed this previously, and today we have petitioned for rehearing of the final rule. You can access the rehearing request here: Rehearing petitionPublic CitizenElectricityExports
