On September 14, 2026 the Environmental Protection Agency finalized a partial repeal of the 2024 Carbon Pollution Standards for fossil‑fuel‑fired power plants.
The rule, published in the Federal Register on September 17, 2026 and set to become effective on November 16, 2026, removes emissions guidelines for existing steam generating units, carbon‑capture‑and‑storage standards for coal units undergoing major modification, and 2024 standards for certain new baseload natural‑gas turbines, and proposes rescinding all remaining greenhouse‑gas standards for power plants; EPA estimates the repeal will save about $310 billion across the economy from 2026 through 2047.
