Aegis extends this brief regulatory update:.
Proposed Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule
Earlier this month, EPA proposed the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule, which would establish emissions guidelines for state-run programs designed to address greenhouse gas emissions from existing coal-fired power plants. This Rule is dramatically different from the currently-stayed Clean Power Plan in several ways, such as it focuses only on coal-powered plants (rather than the entire energy sector), and in that it allows states to set their own standards that meet the federal guideline rather than setting a federal standard.
EPA is accepting comments on the proposed rule for 60 days, see their website https://www.epa.gov/stationary-sources-air-pollution/affordable-clean-energy-rule-proposal-how-comment for more details.
