Join us at the next Alliance event
Featuring leading experts and stakeholders in the efficiency community, Alliance events move us toward our goal of a more energy-efficient world through starting dynamic conversations on principal issues, launching new initiatives, and honoring champions.
In August 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized its state-specific emission guidelines for carbon dioxide emitted from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. On February 9th, the Supreme Court ordered the Obama administration not to take any steps to carry out its Clean Power Plan, a development that may delay progress on the rule until after the president leaves office next January. In addition, the court’s stay may indicate legal hurdles facing parts of the rule.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has finalized new rules designed to reduce carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants across the country. Known collectively as the Clean Power Plan, the rules are designed to maintain an affordable, reliable energy system while cutting pollution and protecting public health and the environment. The Clean Power Plan includes new source performance standards and emission guidelines for both new and existing electric generating units.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Clean Power Plan - the first national standard to target carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the electric power sector - is intended to reduce emissions 32 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. However, industry leaders, policymakers, and the public still have questions about how the Clean Power Plan will impact the mix of power generation, the interconnected grid, cross-state electricity markets, and how consumers use electricity.
