Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

She can do it. You can choose to leave. But before you do, consider the new role, and be willing to present a reasonable, business-centric argument for why the change in responsibilities warrants a pay increase.
If your primary function is the same and the number of hours worked is the same, then an increase might not be warranted. Or if you have a lot of leisure time now and they’re removing that leisure time (I.e. you currently only have work to keep you busy six hours a day and they’re giving you eight hours of work per day now), then an increase might not be warranted - they’re already paying you to do nothing for some of the day.
Not knowing any more details, it’s hard to say if what she’s doing is reasonable of not. But I wouldn’t spend much time worrying about it until the changes are actually presented. Have your numbers ready to discuss (I.e. do some research on what other companies pay and what the responsibilities of those positions are), but otherwise wait until things are actually announced before getting too bent out of shape over it.
If you have regular 1-on-1 meetings with her, then it’s reasonable to ask about the change, and ask if any pay adjustments will be made to account for the change. If not, then you can ask directly why that’s the case.
Of course she can do it, unless someone she reports to tells her she can't. Given how companies are obsessed with cutting costs and squeezing more productivity out of everyone, it's likely she's being encouraged to do what she's doing. If your job changes considerably you should obviously bring up the issue of commensurate compensation.
I'm sure it's something she's legally able to do. But whether or not she retains her employees is another matter. If my boss were prioritizing her own ego and reputation over the well-being of her subordinates, I would take that as my cue to start looking elsewhere.
It’s something that has been happening a lot. While I’ve been job searching, I see a lot of roles that overlap now. More responsibilities, equal to or less pay. Very hard to adjust when somebody new comes in and is changing so much, but they were probably hired to do just that, so keep that in mind.
It’s common for companies to expand roles, but it should come with a conversation about salary or title.
