The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association recently filed comments with the Environmental Protection Agency identifying regulations that should be repealed, replaced or modified.
“Electric cooperatives and our member-owners value, and deserve, a healthy environment and cooperatives are proud of their environmental compliance,” the comments read. “Nonetheless, the economic challenges faced by so many cooperatives and their member-owners underscore the importance of ensuring that these regulations are cost-effective.”
NRECA made a total of 11 recommendations in the public comments, which can be found here.
