At least 175 power producers are at risk of blacklisting over prolonged plant outages that have strained the country's electricity system and triggered blackouts, according to Philstar Biz.
The Department of Energy identified the firms as responsible for extended shutdowns, exacerbating supply shortages during peak demand periods.
Industry analysts warn that blacklisting could worsen the energy crisis by reducing the number of available generators, while DOE officials emphasize the need for accountability to ensure grid reliability.
