Regulatory Alert - October 2018
Aegis extends this brief regulatory update:.
New Jersey and Virginia to Join Regional Carbon Trading in 2020
Both NJ and Virginia are set to join the Northeast carbon trading program, with final rules expected to be released in 2018 and adopted in 2019. There are an estimated 33 power plants in Virginia which would be covered by the trading program, and Virginia would represent the second largest state in the program, by carbon emissions, after New York.
