Calpine, PPL Corp., Ørsted and Exxon Mobil are among the companies affected by the decision.

DOE’s decision to terminate the awards was “shortsighted,” according to Steven Nadel, executive director of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. “Locking domestic plants into outdated technology is not a recipe for future competitiveness or bringing manufacturing jobs back to American communities,” Nadel said in a statement. DOE’s decision is a blow to American competitiveness, new jobs and cleaner air, according to Iliana Paul, deputy director for industrial transformation at the Sierra Club.
