Feds to probe why heat became energy crisis
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will investigate why Midwest utilities paid up to 250 times normal rates for electricity during a severe heatwave. The probe follows an energy crisis across Illinois and the region as wholesale prices spiked from about 30 to 7500 per megawatt hour while customers faced potential impact despite state price protections.
