Join Politico for
a deep-dive conversation on what it will take to ensure a reliable
electric grid for the future on Wednesday, October 25 at 5:15
PM ET.
The EPA’s proposed standards for coal and new
natural gas-fired power plants have implications for the future of the
electric grid. These rules may lead to changes in the power generation
mix – shifting to more renewable sources and leading to the potential
retirement or modification of fossil fuel plants. These changes raise
questions about how to ensure that America will have the electric power
that it needs, where and when we need it.
