May 9, 2025 - The National Mining Association (NMA) issued the following statement from Rich Nolan, NMA President and CEO, on PJM's Summer Reliability Outlook that warns of potential power supply shortages:

"PJM's summer outlook confirms an alarming reality. The nation is facing a power supply and grid reliability crisis that could leave millions of Americans without power when they need it most. It's abundantly clear the nation cannot afford to lose another megawatt of dispatchable, fuel-secure coal generation and we're grateful the Trump administration is acting aggressively to address our energy emergency."

The National Mining Association (NMA) is the voice of the American mining industry in Washington, D.C. Membership includes more than 250 corporations involved in all aspects of mining including mineral and coal producers, mineral processors, equipment manufacturers, state mining associations, bulk transporters, engineering firms, consultants, financial institutions and other companies that supply goods and services to the mining industry.
