The SF6 Emission Reduction Partnership for Electric Power Systems
is a collaborative effort between EPA and the electric power industry
to identify and implement cost-effective solutions to reduce sulfur
hexafluoride (SF6 ) emissions. SF6 is a highly potent greenhouse
gas used in the industry for insulation and current interruption
in electric transmission and distribution equipment. Currently
over 70 utilities participate in this voluntary program.
