Utah has filed a petition to review the Ozone Transfer Rule, an EPA proposal to limit how much Utah's power plants affect Colorado's air.
The Huntington Power Plant in Emery County, on Thursday, July 21, 2022. Utah officials are challenging a federal proposal to limit pollution from Huntington and other coal plants in Utah.Utah has begun its legal challenge of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Good Neighbor” rule Tuesday, which Utah leaders say “harms Utahns and threatens our ability to provide affordable and reliable baseload energy to our state.
“As Utah’s elected state leaders, we stand united in pushing back against the administration’s egregious power grab that harms Utahns,” said a joint statement from Utah’s governor, attorney general, congressional delegation and legislative leadership. “We will each fight for a responsible energy policy that embraces efficiency and is based in reality because keeping the lights on is the only option.”and the Utah Attorney General’s office has hired an outside law firm for the fight.
Utah has disputed the idea that the state’s coal plants are affecting health in Colorado. Utah officials also say it would take millions of dollars to install pollution-control equipment to comply with the regulation, which they say would harm Utahns and the state’s economy. Utah has four coal-fired power plants that could potentially be affected by the rule. In addition to the two Rocky Mountain plants, the Intermountain Power Project operates the state’s largest coal-fired power plant near Delta, but IPP officials have already announced their plans to close the coal units and move to natural gas and hydrogen. The other plant is the Bonanza power plant near Vernal, which serves rural electrical cooperatives in Utah and adjoining states.
