Exelon defends ZEC programs at PJM, FERC

摘要

Exelon told PJM Interconnection this week that state zero emission credit programs aimed at aiding at-risk nuclear generation "replicate" the outcome of a regional carbon market and should not be mitigated. Chicago-based Exelon, the nation's largest nuclear generator, is making its case to both PJM, a Pennsylvania-based regional grid operator, and the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that states have a legitimate right to pursue initiatives that further their own environmental goals.
