Regulators, System Operators, and Utilities Consider Reliability, Renewables, and EPA Regulations David Boyd, VP of government and regulatory affairs for the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), described the situation with multiple new federal regulations—from mercury and ash rules to the Clean Power Plan—as “a puzzle of sorts.” There are 14 GW of wind in MISO … Continue reading Regulators, System Operators, and Utilities Consider Reliability, Renewables, and EPA Regulations→
EPA Allows Flexibility for CO2 Emission Deadline in ND North Dakota’s power producers knew they were going to have to reduce CO2 emissions under the EPA’s new rules.

Indiana “will not comply” with new EPA CO2 emission rules Are you fed up with high electric bills? Get used to it. They are about to “necessarily skyrocket” as Barack Obama said if the EPA’s new CO2 emission standards are implemented. And if those standards were fully implemented it would have only a tiny, tiny … Continue reading #Indiana “will not comply” with new EPA CO2 emission rules→
August 17, 2015 By William Opalka When the Clean Power Plan was released last year, New York’s grid operator was concerned with its impact despite the state’s membership in a regional carbon trading regime. Reliance on coal generation had threated reliability, in the view of NYISO, so changes needed to be made, even though New … Continue reading Northeast on Way to Compliance with Clean Power Plan→
by TERRY JARRETT 12 Aug 2015 Well, President Obama’s EPA has gone and done it. For over a year, energy experts, utility regulators, electric grid operators, and everyone else who understands how the power sector works have criticized the EPA’s proposed “Clean Power Plan” (CPP), saying it will increase electricity prices and jeopardize the reliability … Continue reading JARRETT: EPA’S CHANGES TO POWER GRID COULD WRECK THE ECONOMY→
Regressive approach: New EPA rules would punish New York for work already done On Monday, President Barack Obama ordered the implementation of even more egregious regulations over electric-power generation in an effort to slow the effects of an ever-warming climate. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency initially had proposed rules that would have reduced carbon emissions … Continue reading Regressive approach: New EPA rules would punish #New_York for work already done→

Power generation plants produce 31% of all U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, so a reduction of 32% … Continue reading Coal Stocks Pummeled by EPA Clean Air Rules→
Utilities Win Big As Supreme Court Orders EPA To Consider Cost In Regs The utility industry won a critical — but possibly short-lived — victory as the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Environmental Protection Agency must consider the costs of stringent regulations designed to eliminate mercury emissions from coal- and oil-fueled power plants. Rejecting the … Continue reading Utilities Win Big As Supreme Court Orders EPA To Consider Cost In Regs→
