States are investing in clean energy and lowering electricity bills through the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
Demand for energy is growing in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, spiking electricity bills and pollution in some states.
A recent report confirms that the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)—which sets a declining cap on carbon emissions from power plants and returns the program’s proceeds to fund energy and environmental programs—is serving as an essential stopgap for offsetting household electricity bills while reducing climate pollution.
States must stay on track with RGGI to protect these consumer benefits.
