The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency repealed fossil-fuel power-plant greenhouse-gas standards and proposed eliminating additional federal emissions requirements.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, repealed power-plant greenhouse-gas (GHG) rules associated with the Biden administration. Utility Dive distinguishes that repeal from additional standards the agency is moving to eliminate.

The Telegram account places the repeal on Monday, preceding the September 15 reporting, and describes the rules as requiring fossil-fuel power plants to install emissions-control technology (“最新转折发生在周一……废除了要求化石燃料发电厂安装技术控制设备以抑制排放的规定”). It separately describes a proposal to permanently remove federal regulation of the country’s largest industrial greenhouse-gas sources (“提出一项提案，拟永久解除对全国最大工业温室气体排放源的联邦监管”).

Utility Dive reports that Rachael Marsh, chief legal officer of the Edison Electric Institute, which represents investor-owned utilities, supported repeal of the carbon-capture-and-storage-based standards. The supplied sources do not quantify resulting generation capacity, electricity-price changes, or data-center power availability.
