A crucial new program stands at the heart of the climate investments in Congress’s high-stakes negotiations around a trillion dollar budget reconciliation package.
The Clean Electricity Performance Program (CEPP) is an innovative policy that’s a key piece of our once-in-a-generation opportunity to simultaneously confront the climate crisis, reap the economic benefits of a clean energy transition, and save hundreds of thousands of lives by reducing air pollution. By combining a smart mix of incentive payments and fees, CEPP is designed to spur electric utilities to significantly increase carbon-free power generation this decade.
