Emission reduction and environmental remediation strategies at fossil-fired plants are critical for viability and to meet decarbonization goals. EPA has finalized a suite of measures aimed at addressing air, water and land pollution from plants. The agency’s emissions rule for many coal and gas-fired plants leans on technologies like carbon capture. POWERGEN International highlights state and federal regulations impacting plant operations, as well as operational strategies and control technologies to remain in compliance.

The Impact of Policy on the Energy Landscape: Financial Incentives and Environmental Rules

Feb 12, 2025 |  10:00 AM - 10:45 AM |  C141

The last four years have brought a lot of policy activity in the energy space. The Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law have provided numerous incentives for clean energy projects and are expected to unlock billions of dollars in private investment. At the same time, new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency environmental regulations will also have sweeping consequences for conventional generating assets. This panel will explore the most important policy and regulatory developments and their impact on energy companies, along with insights from the recent election.
