National Grid today has issued the following statement:

“National Grid has long supported the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. We have completed our evaluation of a recently finalized rule under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act and believe it will have limited impact on our operations. We are not involved in the litigation challenging the rule, and we remain focused on our responsibility to deliver reliable, affordable energy to our customers and support state decarbonization objectives in Massachusetts and New York. 

National Grid is investing billions of dollars to upgrade and expand our networks in order to meet growing demand and bring on new sources of clean generation. We will continue to engage in productive conversations with our stakeholders, including the EPA, on how to reduce emissions from the power sector."
