Congress is considering a Clean Electricity Payment Program in the massive reconciliation package. It’s not a Clean Energy Standard, but it can accomplish the same goal, advocates say.
Congress is considering landmark legislation to address climate change and the clean energy transition through a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill. Only a simple majority of Democrats in both the House and Senate must approve for the bill to pass.
Often mistaken for a Clean Energy Standard (CES), the bill includes a Clean Electricity Payment Program (CEPP) to reach President Biden’s goal of 80% clean electricity by 2030.
