摘要

The addition of a CO_2 monitoring and compliance requirement for imports can be expected to raise additional compliance issues for electric service providers. Companies will need to determine the best way to meet their compliance obligations based on the carbon intensity of their energy portfolios. Presuming that a carbon compliance obligation would necessitate the acquisition of RGGI allowances to reflect the carbon content of energy purchases, electric service providers should have a number of options to comply with this requirement, including: 1. Reducing the carbon content of their supply portfolios by identifying and requesting recognition for specified energy purchases; 2. Contracting with developers of lower-emitting generation; 3. Taking advantage of RGGI flexibility provisions, e.g., three-year control period and banking; and 4. Making greater investments in energy efficiency and other demand-side resources. There are a number of legal, regulatory, and administrative implications associated with developing a tracking system that can potentially support expanding the existing RGGI program to include emissions associated with the purchase of energy from outside the RGGI region. States will need to work with administrators at GATS, GIS, and the relevant tracking system authority in New York to determine the changes necessary to the tracking systems in order for states to be able to regularly determine the amount of MWh each LSE uses to serve load in its service territory, and the sources of that energy. Acquiring and populating the tracking systems with robust emissions data would be a central part of any such effort. Having sufficient access to the system for quality assurance and control purposes will also be necessary. States need to confer with tracking system administrators to achieve a level of access to processes and calculations that ensures state confidence in the soundness of the tracking systems. Each state will need to determine the extent of its authority to take necessary steps to expand its program. RGGI states should also consider whether or not their existing authority to implement electric supply portfolio standards for renewable or other resources might provide the authority to track emissions associated with such a compliance obligation. At a minimum, states would need to develop rules regarding: 1. The tracking of various transaction types; and 2. The methodology for calculating adjusted residual mix and other tracking system features, including: a. Articulating the fields required to be added to the tracking system, and b. Publishing the necessary reports to make this newly developed emissions information available. Regulators and tracking system administrators should develop a standard set of protocols for regulator access to tracking systems, and for addressing quality assurance and quality control concerns that regulators will have in using these systems to track energy use. RGGI states should also consider what other specific, standardized procedures they will need to develop if they choose to use these systems for tracking purposes. In addition, RGGI states will need to determine the degree to which individual state rules (statutes, regulations, orders, etc.) will need to be addressed, and assess the potential effects that the recognition of these emissions will have on existing state emissions budgets.
