Pennsylvania Carbon Dioxide Reduction Opportunities for Power Sector Compliance Under the Clean Air Act

WRI analysis shows that Pennsylvania has many opportunities to reduce carbon pollution from its power sector. Pennsylvania actually is in a good position to meet moderately ambitious future emissions standards for existing power plants in the near term by using existing state policies and resources. Moreover, Pennsylvania can place itself in a strong position to meet more stringent standards by expanding or accelerating its existing policies, including continuing to extend its utility energy efficiency resource standard beyond 2016.
