Final building blocks in CPP111(d) planning

EPA used three building blocks to determine state emission goals

 

Heat rate improvements

 

Increased NGCC dispatch

 

Renewables

EE removed from building blocks, but not from discussion

First steps

Develop state compliance plans

Pursue CEIP

Review EM&V guidelines in context of current methodologies

Page 7: Learning to Walk Before Learning to Run: First Steps Toward EPA’s Clean Power Plan Compliance

State compliance plan timeline

Extension submission requirements:1. An identification of final plan approach(es) under consideration, including a description of

progress made to date 2. An appropriate explanation for why the state requires additional time to submit a final

plan by September 6, 2018 3. Demonstration or description of opportunity for public comment on the initial submittal

and meaningful engagement with stakeholders

State compliance plans: Framework

Emission standards approach

Pro• Streamlined approach laid out by

EPA• Can use either rate-based or

mass-based target

Con• Not as flexible

State measures approach

Pro• Flexibility to include non-EGU

focused approaches (i.e., RPS, EERS, and utility and DSM incentive programs)

Con• More paperwork to demonstrate federal backstop

• Have to meet mass-based goals• State must pass laws in support

State compliance plans: Case study What are states doing around you? Regional greenhouse gas initiative– State-measures approach,

mass-based, multi-state Existing CO2 emission trading market Will new states join?– NJ was once in; may be back– VA has Dem. governor; recent Acadia

study gives green light– PA considering RGGI

http://www.sightline.org/research/graphics/north-american-carbon-pricing-started-with-rggi/

Examples already exist for multi-state carbon markets, but is it for everyone?

Clean energy incentive program (CEIP)

CEIP will provide opportunities for investments in renewable energy and demand-side energy efficiency that deliver results in 2020 or 2021.

In order for a state to participate in the program, it must include in its initial submittal, if applicable, a non-binding statement of intent to participate in the CEIP.

Page 12: Learning to Walk Before Learning to Run: First Steps Toward EPA’s Clean Power Plan Compliance

DNV GL © 201412

Clean energy incentive program (CEIP)

Renewables• For every two MWh generated, the project

will receive one early-action ERC from the state, and the EPA will provide one matching ERC

Energy efficiency• For every two MWh in end-use demand

savings achieved, the project will receive two early-action ERCs from the state, and the EPA will provide two matching ERCs

Page 13: Learning to Walk Before Learning to Run: First Steps Toward EPA’s Clean Power Plan Compliance

DNV GL © 201413

CEIP: State/regional responsesArizona• 24% interim goal / 34% final goal

Southwest Power Pool• Leveraging potential regional scale

Pennsylvania• “We’re listening”

Michigan• “Policy make local”

Energy efficiency and EM&V

Ratepayer-funded

programs• Rebates & loans• Technical

assistance• Education

Building energy codes

• Establish efficiency requirements for new/renovated buildings

State appliance standards

• Establish efficiency requirements for products not covered by federal government

Energy services

performance contracting

• Projects delivered by ESCOs and repaid through consumer bill savings

Volt/VAR optimizatio

n

• Efforts to improve grid efficiency

Page 15: Learning to Walk Before Learning to Run: First Steps Toward EPA’s Clean Power Plan Compliance

Energy efficiency and EM&V guidelines: Framework

EM&V guidelines

1. Methods 2. Metrics

and baselines

3. Reporting

4. Deemed savings

5. Independent

factors

6. Accuracy

7. Double counting

8. Effective useful life

9. Savings cycle

10. T&D adders

11. Interactive

effects

12. EM&V protocols

EM&V draft guidelines: http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-08/documents/cpp_emv_guidance_for_demand-side_ee_-_080315.pdf

Energy efficiency EM&V guidelines: Case studyUtility clients wonder how current EM&V practices compare to draft guidelines

How much will states/utilities need to change EM&V approach to align with CPP?

Deemed savings and TRMs

Approx. 20 states developed TRMs

What about the rest?

Baselines

How will “common

practice baseline” impact programs?

Create “market average” for

baseline?

Timeframe & cycles for persistence/verification studies & reporting

savings

How does this line up with what utilities do currently?

States that aren’t taking the first step

Electric sector annual CO2 emissions

16 states currently

suing EPA

Expect federal plan to begin implementation in 2018, if states do not submit plan

Summarizing first steps

State compliance

plans

• If a state is not going to meet 9/26/2016 compliance plan deadline, extension is not a cake walk

CEIP

• Pursuing early-action credits gives states leg up toward compliance

EM&V proposed guidelines

• Guidelines won’t make or break CPP• May cause states/utilities to rethink EM&V

processes
