The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (“ACES” or the “Act”), or H.R. 2454, was passed by the House of Representatives on June 26th.  The Act sets forth an ambitious and comprehensive reform of U.S. climate and energy policy and charts the course to lower emissions and a sustainable clean technology future. 

ACES is a complex and detailed piece of legislation covering many issues related to regulating and re-shaping energy and climate policy. ENE has created a summary of the Act including (1) a brief overview of the major elements of the Act and (2) a detailed section-by-section analysis. The summary is designed to be an informative and accessible resource on this landmark legislation, for use by stakeholders, media and the public.
