AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Heat & Power Reliability: The U.S. DOE authorized emergency steps for the PJM grid July 1–3, with data centers and other large users potentially ordered to switch to backup power during a heat dome that’s pushing record demand across West Virginia and neighboring states. Energy Infrastructure & Emissions: A new report warns “behind-the-meter” gas plants planned to power data centers could drive massive climate pollution, with critics saying approvals are moving fast and with limited public review. Retail & Food Safety: Fresh-cut melon and peaches are under Salmonella-related recalls spanning multiple states, including West Virginia, after contamination concerns tied to major grocery distribution networks. Public Safety: A Barbour County house fire killed four adults after investigators linked the blaze to improperly discarded consumer fireworks and noted no working smoke alarms. Agriculture Funding: A federal judge partially restored USDA grants for underserved food producers in West Virginia and other states, after the program was cut earlier this year. Construction & Skills: A West Virginia-linked engineering win: Missouri S&T’s Concrete Canoe team placed second at an international competition held in Fairmont, highlighting regional STEM talent. Business Competition: West Virginia’s AG Brenna Bird scored a victory aimed at restoring competition and free speech in digital advertising, targeting “Big Six” agency practices.
