EEI member companies are committed to being part of the solution to climate change and have undertaken many initiatives over the last 30 years to reduce, avoid, or sequester greenhouse gas emissions.</p> <p>EEI member companies are leading the clean energy transformation. As they continue to transition their generating fleets to cleaner fuels, their emissions are going down significantly. Preliminary estimates suggest that as of year-end 2023, the electric power sector’s carbon emissions were 41 percent below 2005 levels. In addition, emissions from the electric power sector are no longer the leading source of the nation’s CO<sub>2</sub> and have been lower than the emissions from the transportation sector since 2016.</p> <p>This impressive trend is expected to continue, as many EEI member companies have announced voluntary commitments to further reduce their carbon emissions in the near- and long-term, many of which include reaching net-zero by 2050 or earlier.

The electric power industry works in partnership with federal, state, and local agencies to ensure that we meet all applicable wildlife and land protection statutes and regulations.</p> <p><span class="Subhead">Threatened and Endangered Species</span></p> <p>Electric companies provide valuable habitats for plants and wildlife. In addition to complying with the Endangered Species Act (ESA), electric companies take special actions to protect threatened and endangered species and critical habitat on our lands, including Habitat Conservation Plans and other voluntary conservation measures available under the ESA. </p> <p><span class="Subhead">Avian Conservation</span></p> <p>EEI member companies implement voluntary proactive measures on their transmission and distribution systems to address a variety of avian interactions with power lines including electrocutions, collisions, and building nests nearby. EEI works with the U.S. Fish and Wildfire Service on compliance with the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. EEI also is a member of the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee.</p> <p><span class="Subhead">Siting and Permitting</span></p> <p>New electric transmission is needed for enhanced reliability, to serve regional markets, and to deliver electricity from renewable energy projects to highly populated communities. EEI is working on reforming siting and permitting processes to facilitate increased renewable energy deployment and the transmission needed to enhance grid resilience and meet our climate goals.</p> <p><span class="Subhead">Vegetation Management</span></p> <p>To avoid the interruptions in electricity service that overgrown or fallen vegetation can cause, electric companies use various methods to control or remove vegetation in a safe and environmentally conscious manner. These are called rights-of-way vegetation management programs. The goal of these programs is to provide safe transmission and distribution services and to minimize disruptions caused by trees and other vegetation, while maintaining a harmonious relationship with the environment. Properly maintained rights-of-way are essential to providing safety for energy workers and customers.</p> <div class="actions"> </div> <div class="actions"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <style> .widget p:last-child { margin-bottom: 0em; } </style> <div class="section"> <div class="container"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <div class="has-border-bottom"> <div class="widget"> <style> .table-story table { border: 0px !important; } .table-story tr td { border: 0px !important; } </style> <div class="section-title-group"> <h2 class="section-title">Water and Waste Management</h2> </div> <div class=" content-block"> <div class="section-subtitle " style=""> <p>Water is an essential component of electricity production. The production of electricity requires water for fuel processing, cooling, materials handling, combustion efficiency, and environmental control. Steam electric generation, including coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear units require abundant, and predictable quantities of water for these purposes.</p> <p>Cleaner energy sources such as hydroelectric, wind, and solar, also require water for power, manufacture, and maintenance. In addition, the infrastructure needed to connect these resources to customers will cross federal and state waters and may require general or individual permits administered under regulatory agencies and programs.</p> <p><span class="Subhead">Clean Water Regulations</span></p> <p>Federal regulatory rulemaking efforts such as the Steam Electric Effluent Limitation Guidelines, Clean Water Act Section 401 (water quality certifications), Nationwide Permits renewals and waters of the United States all have a direct impact on electric companies and the smooth transition to a cleaner energy economy.</p> <p>EEI continues to work individually and with a broad cross-section of associations to educate federal regulatory agency leaders and staff as well as policymakers in the House and Senate and others about the electric power industry's perspective on these rules and associated initiatives.</p> <p><span class="Subhead">Waste Management Regulations</span></p> <p>EEI members are active in waste management issues. EEI is working with a coalition of several other power sector groups in filing a petition for rulemaking requesting that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency adopt a universal waste management standard for photovoltaic solar panels to support the transition to clean energy in a streamlined manner that would encourage environmentally sound collection and proper management of the waste within the management and recycling system.</p> <p>EEI members also are active in coal ash management. Coal ash is a byproduct of burning coal to generate electricity. Coal ash is reused in products, including cement, concrete, wallboard, and roofing materials, or is stored in basins or landfills. The Environmental Protection Agency is working on an update to its national rule regulating how coal ash is managed and stored. The proposal outlines a prescriptive, phased process for the monitoring of groundwater near coal ash basins, identifying and reporting concerns, and addressing issues through corrective action.<br /> <br /> As the electric power industry continues to transition to a cleaner generation mix, many coal-based power plants are being retired. This means that coal ash disposal units near these power plants are no longer needed. Electric companies are beginning to close basins where coal ash is stored, in ways that put safety first, protect the environment, minimize impacts to the community, and manage costs for customers.</p> <div class="actions"> </div> <div class="actions"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section"> <div class="container"> <div> <div class="col-sm-12"> <div class="has-border-bottom font-size-02" style=""> <div class="flex-container-left"> <div> <a href="https://www.carbonfreetech.org" target="_blank" ><img src="/-/media/Project/EEI/Images/Global/Logos/CFTI_logo.jpg?h=343&w=693&la=en&hash=8DDAE5D61D18CD3FD7F3B68772EAEFE8A63F40C3" class="" alt="" /></a> </div> <div> <style> .table-story table { border: 0px !important; } .table-story tr td { border: 0px !important; } </style> <div class="section-title-group"> <h2 class="section-title">Carbon-Free Technology Initiative (CFTI)</h2> </div> <div class=" content-block"> <div class="section-subtitle " style=""> <p>EEI has joined with a number of environmental and technology-focused non-governmental organizations to launch the Carbon-Free Technology Initiative (CFTI), which is focused on implementation of federal policies that can help ensure the commercial availability of affordable, carbon-free, 24/7 power technology options by the early 2030s.</p> <p>Many of the CFTI's policy recommendations address research and development, demonstration, deployment, and issues that have an impact on the cost or performance of a technology, such as siting and permitting.
