Instead of regulating one industry and subsidizing another to make it competitive, we need to get back to making energy affordable in the first place. Watch as Chairman Rep. Brett Guthrie speaks in support of the National Coal Council Reestablishment Act to support reliable and

Last week, DPK led a coalition letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin commending his efforts to promote electric reliability and affordability. Thank you U.S. EPA for safeguarding Kentucky’s economic growth and wellbeing. dependablepowerky.com/wp-content/upl…

For decades, PJM has operated as an independent, non-political regional transmission organization that ensures electric reliability for more than 65 million Americans, including a large share of Kentuckians. Now, its independence is being threatened by a subset of governors

This past weekend, Administrator Zeldin visited a Kentucky coal mine to see firsthand what we’ve known all along: that Kentucky miners and power plant employees are some of the most skilled, dedicated, and important workers in the country. We’re encouraged to see new EPA

On the cover of the Wall Street Journal this morning: “America’s Biggest Power Grid Operator Has an AI Problem—Too Many Data Centers” PJM is facing unprecedented reliability risks as electricity demand from AI data centers surges and power plants retire faster than new

At 5 am today, in the midst of the winter storm, the generation mix in PJM was GAS: 40%, NUKE 28%, COAL 28%, WIND 4.5%, SOLAR 0. So dispatchables: 91%. The claim that VA or any PJM state can run a modern grid without dispatchable gen is reckless. Facts are stubborn things.
