EPA Proposes Rule To Replace 'Clean Power' Plan
The Environmental Protection Agency on August 21st released its proposed rule to replace the “Clean Power” Plan (CPP). The rule, which is called the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule, would get rid of the CPP’s takeover of the grid and concentrate on “inside the fence” regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from individual coal and natural gas power plants. The proposed “best system of emission reduction” for existing coal plants is heat-rate efficiency improvements. States are invited to design plans that will suit their particular fleet of power plants.
