US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright issued an emergency order to keep Michiganโs J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant operational through November 19, 2025, to prevent power outages and strengthen grid security in the Midwest. Originally set to close early, the plant has been vital during high demand and low renewable output. Wright emphasized the need for reliable baseload power as electricity demand rises, warning that outages could increase dramatically if more reliable plants shut down.
