Achieving a lower-carbon economy requires effective, efficient solutions that do not unduly burden consumers or impede the reliability of our power grid, while allowing for continued competition and innovation. When it comes to decarbonizing the power sector, policies that focus on reducing emissions while ensuring reliable and least-cost solutions will yield the most effective results to meet the growing demand for electricity.

EPSA and our member companies – America’s competitive power suppliers – support efforts to address climate change through transparent, open, and nondiscriminatory competitive markets that allow all resources to compete to reduce emissions. Competitive electricity markets produce billions in consumer savings annually and have driven clean energy investment. These markets are a powerful foundation to encourage least-cost generation, integrate new technology, and foster the innovation needed to meet future energy challenges.
