Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Although the Commission's authority includes recovery of certain costs associated with environmental compliance through wholesale rates, the Commission does not directly regulate air emissions. The Commission is taking action consistent with climate change concerns, including removing regulatory barriers to increased development of renewable energy and enabling more effective demand response. In addition, Commission staff studies federal, state, and regional greenhouse gas initiatives to consider the implications of such initiatives for the Commission and the wholesale energy markets it regulates.
