FERC to Assess Reliability Impacts from the EPA’s Power Plant Regs

In May, the Bidenistas at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a hellscape of new regulations (681 pages) aimed at forcing coal- and natural gas-fired power plants to close (see New Biden EPA Regs a “Death Sentence” for Fossil-Fuel Power Plants). Although usually in bed with the government, utility companies, represented by the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) trade organization, are against the new regs (see EEI Oposes Biden EPA Plan to Force Upgrades of Gas-Fired Plants). Last week, 39 U.S. Senators sent a letter to the EPA asking the agency to withdraw the proposed new regs (see 39 Republican U.S. Senators Ask EPA to Withdraw Power Plant Reg). Now, word comes that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will weigh in on what it thinks about the EPA hellscape and what it will do to (decimate) the power industry.
