SCS Technical Bulletin: Summary of Clean Power Plan, November 2015

Summary of the Clean Power Plan includes the final standards for new and existing Electric Utility Generating Units (EGUs). The Technical Bulletin reviews the U.S. EPA determination that the best system of emission reduction (BSER) consists of three building blocks; how the EPA determines the degree of emission limitation achievable through the application of the BSER for each type of unit; and how quickly and to what extent the measures encompassed by the building blocks could be used to reduce emissions. States will be required to submit a final plan, or an initial submittal with an extension request, by September 6, 2016. The types of plans and cost-effective strategies suggested for states to tailor their plans to meet their respective energy, environmental, and economic needs and goals, and those of their local communities is in the final sections.
