Settlement Agreement
Plaintiffs and EPA reached settlement under which EPA would propose greenhouse gas performance standards for new and modified electric generating units.
EPA announced that it had reached agreements in two lawsuits to propose sector-wide GHG emissions controls for electric utilities and petroleum refineries. The agreements call for EPA to propose revisions to new source performance standards and emissions guidelines for the industries, which include limits on GHGs. The new source performance standards will apply to new and modified facilities, while the emissions guidelines will apply to existing facilities. Under the agreement concerning electric power plants, EPA must propose the new standards by July 26, 2011 and finalize them by May 26, 2012.
