美国能源部2025年12月30日发布第202-25-14号紧急令，要求位于科罗拉多州 Moffat 县 Craig 市的 Craig 电站1号机组在原定退役时间之后继续保持可运行状态，延退至2026年3月30日。这台446.4兆瓦的燃煤机组由 Tri-State 发电与输电协会运营。

Craig 电站共有三台机组：2号机组同为446.4兆瓦，3号机组为534.8兆瓦，两台原计划2028年退役，1号机组则原定2025年12月停止运行。命令还要求 Tri-State 在2026年1月20日前向能源部提交机组相关信息，并明确1号机组在紧急期内不计作容量资源。
Energy Department Orders Colorado's Craig Station Unit 1 to Stay Available Until March 30, 2026
The U.S. Department of Energy on December 30, 2025 issued Emergency Order No. 202-25-14 requiring Unit 1 of the Craig Station in the city of Craig, Moffat County, Colorado, to remain available to operate beyond its planned retirement, through March 30, 2026. The 446.4-megawatt coal-fired unit is operated by the Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association.
In the order, the Department determined that an emergency exists within the Western Electricity Coordinating Council Northwest assessment area due to a shortage of electric energy and a shortage of generation facilities, and issued the order under section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act. Effective at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on December 30, 2025 and expiring at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on March 30, 2026, the order directs Tri-State and the co-owners, Platte River Power Authority, Salt River Project, PacifiCorp and Xcel Energy, in coordination with the Western Area Power Administration Rocky Mountain Region and Southwest Power Pool West, to take all measures necessary to ensure the unit is available to operate.
Craig Station has three units in all: Unit 2 is also rated at 446.4 megawatts and Unit 3 at 534.8 megawatts, and both are slated to retire in 2028, while Unit 1 had been scheduled to cease operations in December 2025. The order also directs Tri-State to provide the Department with information about the unit by January 20, 2026, and provides that Unit 1 shall not be considered a capacity resource during the emergency period.
