If available, REC prices are based n average prices reprted by the PUC (DC, IL, MD, ME, OH, NJ, PA); they are therwise based n published spt market prices, supplemented with data n lng-term cntract prices where available. Incremental csts fr NY are based n NYSERDA's annual RPS expenditures and estimated REC deliveries. Data represent the rate impact if utility csts were fully and immediately passed thrugh Csts were generally <2% f retail rates (10 ut f 14 states in 2012), with an average f 1.4% in 2012, but als varied significantly amng states Trends reflect the same drivers discussed previusly: REC pricing and mix f resurce tiers Als reflect differences in RPS target level hence csts rse ver time in mst states as RPS targets rse 5

If available, REC prices are based n average prices reprted by the PUC (DC, IL, MD, ME, OH, NJ, PA); they are therwise based n published spt market prices, supplemented with data n lng-term cntract prices where available.

Only 2010 data available fr CT and DC. If available, REC prices are based n average prices reprted by the PUC (DC, IL, MD, ME, OH, NJ, PA); they are therwise based n published spt market prices, supplemented with data n lng-term cntract prices where available. Fr IL, ACP csts reflect the requirement that cmpetitive suppliers must meet at least 50% f RPS target with ACPs. NY des nt have ACPs r penalties; all csts are therefre assciated with REC prcurement and prgram administratin. Main tier requirements represented the bulk f RPS cmpliance csts in mst states Exceptins in DC and NJ (high slar requirements and SREC prices) and MA and NH (high secndary tier REC prices) ACP csts generally minimal (reflecting adequate REC supply) Exceptins in MA, NH, and RI, where shrtages led t significant reliance n ACPs in sme years 6

Data fr AZ include administrative csts, which are gruped in "General RPS Obligatins" in the right-hand figure. Data fr CO are fr Xcel nly. Data fr NM in the left-hand figure include SPS ( ) and PNM (2010 and 2012), but include nly SPS in the right-hand figure.

MA des nt have a single terminal year fr its RPS; the calculated cst cap shwn is based n RPS targets and ACP rates fr "Other cst cntainment mechanisms" include: rate impact/revenue requirement caps (DE, KS, IL, NM, OH, OR, WA), surcharge caps (CO, MI, NC), renewable energy cntract price cap (MT), renewable energy fund cap (NY), and financial penalty (TX). Excluded frm the chart are thse states currently withut any mechanism t cap ttal incremental RPS csts (AZ, CA, IA, HI, KS, MN, MO, NV, PA, WI), thugh sme f thse states may have ther kinds f mechanisms r regulatry prcesses t limit RPS csts. ACPs generally cap csts at 6-9% f average retail rates; plenty f head-rm currently, but may diminish as targets rise Amng states with sme ther frm f cst cntainment, effective cst caps are mre restrictive (1-4%), and have already becme binding in several states 8
9 RPS Benefits Estimates
10 RPS Benefits Overview Ptential scietal benefits f RPS plicies include: Reduced air emissins, health benefits, fuel diversity, electricity price stability, energy security, and ecnmic develpment. Avided csts f cnventinal generatin included in cst estimates. We reviewed literature n benefits estimates cnducted fr state RPS plicies. We did nt include brader renewable energy benefits literature. Mst studies examined were prepared fr state legislatures. A variety f methds were used t assess impacts; the level f analytical rigr varies as well. 10

Benefits range frm $10s-100s f millin dllars annually; $4-$23/MWh f renewable generatin Often, the value f CO 2 assumed drives the estimates, because f the magnitude f CO 2 emissin reductins State Estimated Mnetary Impact (millins) Benefits $/MWh f RE CT N/A N/A 2020 OH N/A N/A 2014 ME $13 $7 Annual Perid DE $980 - $2,200 N/A IL $75 $ NY N/A N/A $312 - $2,196 $3 $ $48 $

15 Cnclusins and Future Wrk Cmparisns f incremental RPS cst data acrss states are limited by different methds emplyed; cst estimates rely n available data. Over the perid, average estimated incremental RPS cmpliance csts were abut 1% f retail electricity rates Restructured markets incremental cst estimates range frm well belw $10/MWh t upwards f $60/MWh Regulated markets incremental csts were typically near r belw $20/MWh In mst states, future incremental RPS cmpliance csts are limited by cst cntainment mechanisms. States have mst cmmnly estimated RPS benefits assciated with avided emissins ($4-23/MWh f renewable generatin), ecnmic develpment ($22-30/MWh), and/r whlesale electricity price suppressin ($2-50/MWh). Cmparisn f benefits t csts is challenging because f differences in methds and analytical rigr, variatin in the timeframe f analysis, the limited benefits analyzed, and because incremental csts may be capturing sme benefits. Future wrk culd be dne t cmprehensively assess csts and benefits, using similar methdlgies and level f rigr. Onging RPS cst assessment and standardizatin effrts in sme states might als be useful t ther states (CA, DE, MN, OR, WA). 15
