Researchers found that net carbon pricing would be the most efficient, cost-effective, and transparent way to lower New England’s power sector emissions. As developers pay tens of millions to cancel offshore wind projects that proved too costly, EPSA’s Jeff Turcotte asks why state policymakers continue to pursue higher cost energy approaches.
Read MoreProposed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules to drastically limit power plant emissions will lead to the closure or reduced operations of critical electric power resources, said the Electric Power Supply Association in comments submitted to the EPA August 5, 2023. EPSA’s comments come as grid operators nationwide, energy regulators, policymakers, and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation have all warned that the rate of retiring fossil power generation is outpacing demand and could lead to outages.

Grid reliability must be a top priority in the minds of policymakers and regulators going into the summer.
Read MoreNewly proposed Environmental Protection Agency rules to drastically limit power plant emissions come as grid operators and reliability watchdogs warn that power plants needed to keep the lights on in the face of rising demand, changing weather patterns, and increasing amounts of intermittent generation sources are retiring too quickly.
Read MoreEPSA supports the ambitions of the Paris Agreement to reduce GHG emissions, along with state and federal market-based policies, that seek to meaningfully, rapidly, and economically lower GHG emissions.
Read MoreOn March 29, the Electric Power Supply Association hosted its first Competitive Power Summit in Washington, DC. Leaders from across the competitive power market discussed the key issues facing the sector, including maintaining reliability as the grid changes, market innovations, advancing decarbonization, ensuring a just transition with continued customer and economic benefits, and future market […]
