Connecticut Attorney General William Tong joined a multistate coalition suing the EPA over its repeal of greenhouse gas pollution limits for power plants and separately filed a notice of intent to sue over regulation of existing gas plants. The coalition asks the court to overturn the repeal and restore the protections; the release reports no monetary penalty or final order.
This action does not concern privacy or impose contract requirements, but in-house teams—particularly those contracting with power generators, utilities, and energy suppliers—should review environmental compliance representations, covenants to comply with applicable emissions standards, greenhouse-gas reporting and audit rights, and notice obligations for regulatory changes or emissions-related litigation. Consider whether supplier agreements allocate responsibility for changing or reinstated emissions requirements and related compliance costs.
