arbcombo -- Release of Modeling Results related to the California Plan for Compliance with U.S. EPA Clean Power Plan

Posted: 26 Apr 2016 15:48:35
California Air Resources Board (ARB) staff is developing
proposals for 2016 amendments to the California Cap on Greenhouse
Gas Emissions and Market Based Compliance Mechanisms
(Cap-and-Trade Program) that will seek to improve Program
efficiency and chart post-2020 implementation of the Program. The
potential revisions would also support California’s plan for
compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (U.S.
EPA) Clean Power Plan.

ARB, California Energy Commission (CEC), and California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC) staff have continued to update Clean
Power Plan reliability and modeling results.  Staff have produced
revised production cost modeling results to forecast electricity
sector emissions under mid-range and stressful demand conditions
through to 2031, and generated planning reserve margin estimates
under these scenarios.  This updated information includes an
anticipated emissions level from the sector relative to federal
targets.  

To ensure timely and simultaneous access to these updated
modeling results, ARB will post this information to ARB’s Clean
Power Plan website at noon on Thursday, April 28, 2016.

Background

Cap-and-Trade Regulation

The Board first formally adopted the Cap-and-Trade Regulation in
October 2011, and subsequently approved limited amendments to the
Cap-and-Trade Regulation in June 2012, October 2013, April 2014,
September 2014, and most recently June 2015.  The upcoming 2016
amendments will seek to improve Cap-and-Trade Program efficiency,
update the Cap-and-Trade Regulation using the latest information,
and chart post-2020 implementation of the Cap-and-Trade Program.

Clean Power Plan

On August 3, 2015, U.S. EPA’s Administrator signed its Clean
Power Plan, which sets carbon dioxide emissions limits for many
existing electric generating units. These regulations are based
on section 111(d) (42 U.S.C. § 7411(d)) of the federal Clean Air
Act.  The Plan was published in the Federal Register on October
23, 2015.  States must develop compliance plans to meet these
limits and compliance plans are due in September 2016 (with the
option to seek extensions).  ARB is developing California’s
compliance plan in consultation with the California Energy
Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission,
California’s air districts, and other partners.
