The Falling Cost of Clean Power Plan Compliance

The report examines the Clean Power Plan, a 2015 EPA rule aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants. It argues that compliance costs are now lower than the EPA's initial Regulatory Impact Analysis suggested due to changes in the electric sector and findings from independent analyses.

• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2015 Clean Power Plan was designed to mitigate climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants fueled by fossil fuels, with the EPA initially determining that the rule's climate and health benefits would significantly exceed its compliance costs.
