The U.S. power sector's net greenhouse gas emissions could be as low as 485 million metric tons of CO₂ equivalent, based on policies under the Inflation Reduction Act signed in August 2022. For the same scenario, existing policy before the IRA would put net emissions at 980 million metric tons of CO₂e.
In 2021, U.S. net greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector stood at 1,551 million metric tons of CO₂e.
