EPA Green Power Partnership Webinar
EPA hosted a webinar on October 23 to answer basic questions about how green power retailers can retire allowances through the voluntary renewable energy set-aside (VRE) in many of states participating in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), and the importance of doing so for the green power market.

Speakers addressed:
- The eligibility criteria for retiring allowances
