AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Energy & Jobs: President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to push nearly $700M into coal power, including $425M to extend 13 coal plants and $200M for two new plants (Alaska and West Virginia), plus an Oakland export terminal—framing it as grid reliability for AI and national security. West Virginia Power Projects: Gov. Morrisey says West Virginia will see major benefits, pointing to DOE-backed modernization work tied to the Mitchell Plant in Marshall County and upgrades at Wheeling Power’s Moundsville facility. Electricity Costs: New mapping from EIA data shows residential electricity prices rising sharply in parts of the country, with D.C. up more than 20% and West Virginia among states facing higher household power costs. Legal/Local Control: The West Virginia Supreme Court sided with the City of Weirton in a zoning dispute, reinforcing that local governments can control business types and locations through zoning. Health & Innovation: In Morgantown, GATC Health’s lab work produced GATC-1021, a potential new treatment for opioid use disorder, with human trials ahead. Environment & Industry: A federal appeals court tossed an injunction against Chemours’ Parkersburg plant over PFAS-related discharge limits, sending the fight back into legal limbo. Infrastructure: Clarksburg’s Second Street Bridge construction hit a brief pause after a minor alignment issue was found, with repairs expected to keep the project on track.
