EPA's Clean Power Plan—Critical Issues to Address During the Comment Period Thursday, June 26, 2014 12:30 – 1:30 pm EDT The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently released its long-anticipated proposal for regulating greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants. The proposal seeks to create a fair and flexible regime for reducing power sector greenhouse gas emissions – one that will encourage the development of lower-emitting power sources without unduly penalizing states that currently rely heavily on coal. But the proposal punts on some important implementation questions and the sheer volume of material associated with the proposal has left many observers uncertain where to focus their attention. This webinar – led by the former top-ranking Clean Air Act attorney for EPA Region 2 – will demystify EPA’s proposal and identify key topics that power plant owners, state governments and renewable energy developers may want to address during the proposal’s public comment period, so as to influence the content and structure of the final rule. The webinar will cover the following key topics: The EPA’s proposal – what does it require, how will it be implemented, and what are its potential impacts? What does the proposal mean for state level cap-and-trade programs and state level incentives for renewables and efficiency, and what opportunities does the proposal create for project developers? What aspects of the proposed rule are legally vulnerable – and are there ways for EPA to cure those vulnerabilities before finalizing the rule? Where should affected parties – state governments, project developers, power plant owners – focus their attention?
