Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New and Existing Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units

EEI appreciates the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's or Agency's) non-rulemaking docket regarding the Agency's forthcoming greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions standards for new and existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units under Clean Air Act section 111. EEI is the association that represents all U.S. investor-owned electric companies. EEI members provide electricity for more than 235 million Americans and operate in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. EEI members are united in their commitment to get the energy they provide as clean as they can, as fast as they can, while keeping reliability and affordability front and center, as always, for the customers and communities they serve. Across the nation, EEI members are leading a clean energy transformation, making significant progress to reduce GHG emissions, while also creating good-paying jobs and an equitable clean energy future. New GHG regulations can and should support this ongoing transition. Consistent with our earlier submission to this docket, this new paper is intended to continue the conversation between the Agency and EEI's members and to support the proposal and finalization of regulations that recognize and facilitate the emissions reductions and clean energy progress already being made by electric companies and their fleet transition plans. Please contact Alex Bond at abond@eei.org (202-508-5523) or Eric Holdsworth at eholdsworth@eei.org (202-508-5103) if you have any questions regarding EEI's comments.
