EPA Power Sector Rules: The Environmental Protection Agency’s 2024 power plant rule and other recently finalized power sector regulations threaten electric co-ops’ ability to provide reliable, affordable electricity.
8 Regulations Threatening Reliability: Electricity demand is increasing rapidly as new data centers and manufacturing facilities come online. At the same time, electricity supply is decreasing as the premature retirement of always-available generation continues. New environmental rules will exacerbate the problem.
Infrastructure Resource Hub: The bipartisan infrastructure law included significant investment and funding opportunities for co-ops and the communities they serve. This hub provides resources to help co-op leaders stay informed and to learn about the status of projects underway.
