8 Policies in many states are already reducing emissions Power generation sector Market-based carbon policies Emissions performance standards for new power plants Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPSs) Cleaner fossil generation End-use sectors Energy Efficiency Resource Standards (EERSs) and other EE programs Updated building codes Cross-cutting Public benefit funds Incentives to attract renewable energy technology companies 8
9 Generation sector policies
10 Market-based policies and emissions performance standards A price on carbon and state emissions performance standards for new power plants lower emissions and drive investment in clean energy technologies Source : C2ES. 10
11 Renewable and Alternative Portfolio Standards * Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPSs) provide market signals and certainty for companies to invest in clean energy technologies in certain states Source : DSIRE, C2ES, primary sources. * Clean Energy Standard 11
12 Financial incentives for Carbon Capture and Sequestration Financial incentives for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) motivate deployment and research of cleaner fossil generation Source : DSIRE, C2ES. 12
13 Policies in end-use sectors
14 Energy Efficiency Resource Standards 29 states have some type of EERS program Ratepayer-funded EE programs overcome market barriers to cost-effective energy savings to save consumers money Source : primary sources, DSIRE, ACEEE. 14
15 Residential building codes States can update building codes and improve enforcement to stimulate growth of EE industries and construction, while reducing electricity load Source : DOE Building Technologies Program 15
16 Cross-cutting policies
17 Public benefit funds Public benefit funds can be used to enable energy efficiency and renewable energy deployment Source : DSIRE, C2ES, primary sources. 17
18 Attracting energy companies and jobs Approximately 20 states have or have had specific programs to attract renewable energy companies Tax credits for corporate income and property levies Tax exemptions and reductions Grants, loans and loan guarantees Examples Arizona Renewable Energy Tax Incentive Program provides incentives for the manufacturing of solar, geothermal, wind and other renewable energy components Kansas Solar and Wind Bond Financing Incentive allows for up to $5 million in bond financing for each eligible wind and solar manufacturing project Michigan Renewable Energy Renaissance Zone offers significant tax benefits to facilities that locate in these zones 18
19 EPA is seeking state input regarding the design of a program* to reduce GHGs from existing power plants under Clean Air Act Section 111(d) What is state and stakeholder experience with programs that reduce CO 2 emissions in the electric power sector? How should EPA set the performance standard for state plans? What requirements should state plans meet, and what flexibility should be provided to states in developing their plans? What can EPA do to facilitate state plan development and implementation? Public listening sessions this fall in 11 different cities. Find more information at: *For more background on EPA s questions for states please see: States can responses to these questions to EPA at carbonpollutioninput@epa.gov 19
20 DOE is gathering information on how to support states What tools, analysis and data are states currently using to develop strategies to reduce GHGs in the power sector and to build resilience to climate change? What additional tools, analysis and data would be helpful to develop strategies to reduce GHGs in the power sector from both supply and demand-side resources? What additional analysis and information would be helpful in developing resilience plans? 20
