Regulatory Matters - U.S.
+Added: EPA Regulation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Existing Fossil Fuel-Fired EGUs .
+Added: On October 23, 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rule in the Federal Register regulating greenhouse gas emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generation units (EGUs) under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) (80 Fed.
+Added: The rule (known as the Clean Power Plan or CPP) established emission guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from existing fossil fuel-fired EGUs.
+Added: The CPP required that the states individually or collectively create systems that would reduce carbon emissions from any EGU located within their borders by 28% in 2025 and 32% in 2030 (compared with a 2005 baseline).
+Added: The EPA subsequently proposed to repeal the CPP and in August 2018 issued a proposed rule to replace the CPP with the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule.
+Added: In June 2019, the EPA issued a combined package that finalized the CPP repeal rule as well as the replacement rule, ACE.
+Added: The ACE rule set emissions guidelines for greenhouse gas emissions from existing EGUs based on a determination that efficiency heat rate improvements constitute the Best System of Emission Reduction (BSER).
+Added: Numerous petitions for review challenging the ACE Rule were filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C.
+Added: Circuit (D.C.
+Added: Circuit) and subsequently consolidated.
+Added: In January 2021, a 3-judge panel of the D.C.

+Added: The Supreme Court ruled that the EPA does not have Congressional authority under section 111(d) of the CAA to limit emissions at existing power plants through generation shifting to other fuels and/or renewable energy, but still can regulate emissions at plants by emissions reductions technologies as the EPA has done in the past.
+Added: Circuit’s opinion was reversed and remanded, leaving neither the CPP or the ACE Rule in effect.
+Added: Thus, it will be necessary for the EPA to initiate new rulemaking in order to control GHGs from EGUs using section 111(d) of the CAA.
+Added: The EPA tentatively plans to propose emission guidelines for EGUs in the spring of 2023.
+Added: The Company will continue to monitor EPA rulemaking in this regard.

Circuit remand.
−Removed: This rule imposed further reductions of NO x emissions in 12 states that were subject to the original 2016 rule, which was based on the 2008 ozone standard.
+Added: This rule imposed further reductions of NO x emissions in 12 states that were subject to the original 2016 rule, which was based on the 2008 ozone NAAQS.
In the same rule, the EPA determined that 9 states did not significantly contribute to downwind nonattainment and/or maintenance issues and therefore did not require additional emission reductions.
The EPA subsequently issued Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) to lower state ozone season NO x budgets in 2021 to 2024 in the affected states.
−Removed: A petition for review challenging the 2021 rule has been filed in the D.C.

+Added: A petition for review challenging the 2021 rule was filed in the D.C.
+Added: Briefing is completed and oral arguments have been scheduled for September 28, 2022, but this does not stay the effectiveness of the rule.
+Added: On April 6, 2022, the EPA proposed FIPs to address regional ozone transport for the 2015 ozone NAAQS.
+Added: The proposed rule would result in new ozone season emission budgets for NO x in 25 states, including four Western states, and the proposed rule additionally contains provisions that would require daily “backstop” emission limits for coal-fired power plants over 100 megawatts.
+Added: The proposed rule would also set first-time limits on certain industrial sources.
+Added: The EPA estimates that by 2026 the compliance cost will be $1.1 billion.
+Added: These emission limitations would apply in addition to requirements contained in State Implementation Plans to control ozone precursors in affected states, although states have the option to replace these limits with equally strict or more stringent limitations.
