美国哥伦比亚特区巡回法院三法官陪审团一致推翻了特朗普政府的紧急声明，该声明旨在强制密歇根州J.H. Campbell燃煤电厂继续运营12。法院裁定，能源部的紧急声明违反了《联邦电力法》第202(c)条款，认定不存在足以支持该保持电厂开放的紧急情况12。这项裁决所依据的推理将适用于所有被能源部阻止关闭的煤炭发电厂1。
J.H. Campbell发电厂原定去年关闭，但已通过能源部的多项紧急声明维持运营1。根据《联邦电力法》，每项紧急声明受到最长90天的时间限制1。根据该法案第202(c)条款，能源部仅在美国处于战争状态或因电力需求突然增加或电力短缺而存在紧急情况时，才被授权宣布紧急状态1。此项裁决推翻了特朗普政府试图通过行政措施维持煤炭发电的努力12。
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia unanimously rejected the Trump administration's attempt to force a coal-fired power plant to remain open through emergency declarations issued by the Department of Energy 12. The court determined that no genuine emergency situation existed to justify the order keeping the J.H. Campbell generating station in Michigan operational 2.
The plant had been scheduled to close but was kept running through five successive Department of Energy emergency declarations, each limited to 90 days under the Federal Power Act 1. The court's ruling found the emergency declarations violated Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act and will apply to all coal plants that the Department of Energy had similarly prevented from shutting down 1. That provision permits the department to declare emergencies when the nation is at war or faces "an emergency situation which may result from sudden increases in the demand for electric energy or the shortage of electric energy" 1.
