Petition for review filed.

Three petitions for review were filed in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals challenging the U.S. Secretary of Energy’s May 23, 2025 order pursuant to the Federal Power Act determining that an emergency existed in the Midwest region of the United States due to a shortage of electric energy, shortage of electric energy generation facilities, and other causes, and directing that the Campbell coal-fired power plant in West Olive, Michigan be available to operate for the duration of the order. The plant had been scheduled to cease operations on May 31, 2025. The petitions for review were filed by the People of the State of Michigan, Sierra Club and eight other organizations, and the States of Minnesota and Illinois.
