The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said on Thursday that it would delay imposing rules to curb emissions from existing gas-fired power plants, drawing mixed reactions from environmental groups.

The EPA said that it will proceed with finalizing rules to curb emissions from coal-fired power plants and new gas plants this spring, and work on a new approach to cover the entire fleet of gas plants.
