EPA to use Clean Air Act Section 111(d) to regulate existing power plants :
2
• EPA has proposed how much each state must cut • EPA to approve State Implementations Plans which
are flexible• Research Question: How will consumers in restructured markets be affected?
![Page 3: Consumer Cost Effectiveness of Carbon Mitigation Policies in Restructured Electricity Market](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815a63550346895dc7a47f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Use CAA 111(d) cost-effectively for consumers:• White House to EPA: “…Ensure that the standards are
developed … with the continued provision of reliable and affordable electric power for consumers and businesses”
• Former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson: We will “…implement the most cost-effective measures that do not burden small businesses and nonprofit organizations”.
• EPA estimates ~$8B cost and consumers savings of 9%3

Assumptions for dispatch models:
• No new builds or retirements of capacity or ELCC

11
Assumptions:
• No new builds or retirements of power plants (with the exception of renewables)
• Model one year of hourly economic dispatch for existing generators in PJM, ERCOT, and MISO
• Vary price of gas from $4 to $7/MMBTU• No transmission constraints• No price elasticity of demand

Conclusion:
• Rational consumer might prefer RPS over market based mechanism
• The problem is that RPS has unintended consequences:– Renewables supply energy but not capacity

Current Research: CCS Standard
CCUS Standard Pros– Increased low carbon energy supply (base load, but can
peak during times of high demand)– Increased capacity supply– Increased oil supply (through EOR)– Allows other industry emitters to use CCS infrastructure– Keeps coal, jobs in U.S.– Opens natural gas up to other industries, for use in long
haul trucking, or for LNG exports

Current Research
RPS Standard Pros– Increased low carbon energy supply (base load)– Increased capacity supply– Increased oil supply (through EOR)– CCS pipelines for other industry emitters– Keeps USA coal industry alive and keeps coal where
environmental standards are stringent– Opens natural gas up to other industries, for use in long
haul trucking, or for LNG exports?

Conclusions
• Rational consumer in restructured market may prefer RPS over a carbon price if:– Gas is expensive– And capacity supply remains long– And nuclear generators continue to operate– And it is fair/legal for fossil producers to pay for
mitigation
