"The plants will close in 2015 before new federal clean-air rules go into effect, he said.

The decision came after PJM Interconnection, manager of the high-voltage grid from Ohio to the East Coast, raised reliability concerns about FirstEnergy’s closure plans.

The Pennsylvania agency said FirstEnergy’s initial closure plan would cause major voltage inadequacies and equipment problems affecting the multistate regional grid.

Its analysis on closing the plants found “significant reliability concerns resulting from the deactivation of these generating units,” PJM said in an April 25 report.

It said more than 190 reliability violations would have been created if the plants were allowed to close."
