New York nuclear subsidies an ‘existential threat’ to wholesale markets -Electric Power Supply Association

Generators call New York nuclear subsidies an ‘existential threat’ to wholesale markets, Utility Dive  by Robert Walton @TeamWetDog 12 Jan 17 

Dive Brief:

• The Electric Power Supply Association has made two filings asking federal regulators to take action on nuclear subsidies passed in New York last year, calling them a clear overreach and requesting the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to take mitigating actions.
• Generators last year filed a lawsuit challenging nuclear subsidies approved by the New York Public Service Commission, arguing they intrude on federal jurisdiction of wholesale markets.
• On the same day EPSA filed with federal regulators, the coalition of generators also petitioned the Southern District of New York urging a quick trial on the state’s zero-emissions plan.
