WASHINGTON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - U.S. Energy Secretary

Chris Wright on Friday issued an order that allows part of

Talen's oil-fired Wagner power plant in Maryland to stay

open through the end of 2025, saying it would boost the

reliability of the grid.

President Donald Trump declared an "energy emergency" on the

first day of his second term. But he has taken a slew of actions

to slash tax breaks and other support for renewable energy and

has favored fossil fuels.
