New EPA Regulations Could Hinder Gas Plant Construction
10/14/2024
In April, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized four significant regulations aimed at coal and natural gas-fired power plants (Power Plant Rules). The rules address air emissions, including greenhouse gasses (GHGs) and air toxics, wastewater discharge and ash disposal from coal-fired power plants. Rules specifically targeting power generation affect the generation mix.
Stakeholders need to understand how new rulemaking will impact sector costs, potentially resulting in supply and demand changes.
