(ARLINGTON, VA.) – At 3:30 p.m. today, join the CEOs of four generation and transmission cooperatives for a teleconference about the Environmental Protection Agency’s final rule regulating greenhouse gas emissions at U.S. power plants.
Member-owned, not-for-profit cooperatives provide electricity to consumer-members in 47 states. The rule will have a disproportionate impact on co-ops and the rural communities they serve. These co-op CEOs will provide insight on how the rule could affect their businesses and the people their co-ops serve.
