The industry calls such plants “peakers” because they run only when demand is highest and when the wholesale price for electricity approaches a state-mandated cap of $4,500 per megawatt hour. Grid planners set a 13.75 percent target reserve margin to ensure the system's reliability even in peak use conditions, but estimate that the summer's capacity will be about 13.2 percent, even with NRG's added capacity. To help ensure there is enough generation to serve consumer needs, we likely will ask people to conserve power during the hottest hours of the hottest days.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama held a White House rally to build support for an immigration reform bill that easily cleared a Senate procedural vote Tuesday to set up weeks of debate. Obama said the legislation closes other gaps in an outdated U.S. immigration system that requires congressional attention. Immigration legislation faces stiff opposition in the Republican-controlled House where GOP leaders have vowed to take a more piecemeal approach to addressing reform measures. Many House GOP lawmakers have rejected citizenship as an amnesty for lawbreakers and have suggested offering instead a permanent legal status for undocumented immigrants. In light of the congressional opposition, the White House event was designed to show the varied support across the public spectrum for bipartisan reform legislation. The dignitaries standing behind Obama during the East Room ceremony included Tom Donahue, head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO president, as well as clergy, businessmen and minority rights advocates.
