    Recent Developments and Considerations for U.S. Electric Power Systems

Established in 1999, the SF6 Emission Reduction Partnership for Electric Power Systems is a collaborative effort between EPA and the electric power industry to identify, recommend, and implement cost-effective solutions to reduce sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) emissions. SF6 is a highly potent greenhouse gas that is used in the industry for insulation and current interruption in electric transmission and distribution equipment.
