EPA Repeals Biden-Era Carbon Rules For Power Plants
As previewed here yesterday, late on Monday the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said that it finalized a rule repealing most of the carbon-emission limits for coal- and natural gas-fired power plants and proposed a separate measure that could restrict similar regulations in the future. Appropriately, the Sept. 14 announcement came at the G20 energy event in Houston.
The EPA projects that the two actions announced on Sept. 14 would save about $310.4 billion if the proposed repeal is finalized.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the changes would allow the United States to build power-generating infrastructure to meet a rapidly rising demand.

EPA Poised To Scrap Power Plant Carbon Standards
By Robin Lawrence, of UtilityDive
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin is expected to formally rescind carbon pollution standards for fossil fuel power plants today, according to multiple media reports.
The repeal would complete the Trump administration's elimination of climate policies enacted under the Obama and Biden administrations and could prevent future administrations from regulating greenhouse gases emissions from power plants, according to The New York Times.
Climate Mayors and C40 Cities are among the municipal and environmental groups that have opposed the repeal, which the EPA first proposed in June 2025. “GHG emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants contribute significantly to costly and detrimental fiscal and public health impacts for cities across the United States,” the groups, along with the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, stated in an Aug. 7, 2025, letter to the EPA.
