Congress and Industry: Recent Studies Show EPA Air Rules Do Not Threaten Electric Reliability

Recent Studies Show EPA Air Rules Do Not Threaten Electric Reliability, Committee on Energy and Commerce, Democratic Staff, November 2011.

  • “In November 2011, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and M.J. Bradley and Associates each released updated studies evaluating the effects of existing and upcoming EPA regulations to control pollution from power plants. These assessments are still based in large part on proposed, rather than final rules. Nevertheless, they provide substantial assurance that the nation can achieve significant air quality improvements from cleaning up old polluting power plants without threatening the reliability of electricity supplies.”
