Opponents of the Clean Power Plan have charged that it will cause energy prices to soar.  That’s not so, according to this report from the energy consultancy M.J. Bradley, which found that, under the plan, “U.S. households would save between 5% and 20% on their monthly electricity bills in 2030.”

M.J. Bradley & Associates has published a comprehensive modeling analysis of the Environmental Protection Agency’s final Clean Power Plan, with insights and constructive feedback from several utilities, trade associations and NGOs, including the Natural Resources Defense Council.  The study finds that the Clean Power Plan can achieve significant reductions of carbon pollution from the nation’s power sector while preserving a diverse energy mix. 

A press release on the report is available here.
