Acadia Center Comment on RI’s Proposed RGGI Regulations

Acadia Center and partners (Green Energy Consumers Alliance and NRDC) write in strong support of the proposed amendments to Rhode Island's Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) regulations. In a time of immense federal uncertainty, Rhode Island and RGGI states should be applauded for bringing the Third Program Review to fruition and continuing to work together not only to reduce detrimental pollution that harms public health, but also to enhance the program’s ability to keep delivering tangible energy bill reductions to consumers and the public. It is now essential that Rhode Island and other participating states act in unison to extend and renew their participation in the program.
