Final building blocks in CPP111(d) planning
EPA used three building blocks to determine state emission goals
Heat rate improvements
Increased NGCC dispatch
Renewables
EE removed from building blocks, but not from discussion

First steps
Develop state compliance plans
Pursue CEIP
Review EM&V guidelines in context of current methodologies
DNV GL © 20147
State compliance plan timeline
Extension submission requirements:1. An identification of final plan approach(es) under consideration, including a description of
progress made to date 2. An appropriate explanation for why the state requires additional time to submit a final
plan by September 6, 2018 3. Demonstration or description of opportunity for public comment on the initial submittal
and meaningful engagement with stakeholders

State compliance plans: Framework
Emission standards approach
Pro• Streamlined approach laid out by
EPA• Can use either rate-based or
mass-based target
Con• Not as flexible
State measures approach
Pro• Flexibility to include non-EGU
focused approaches (i.e., RPS, EERS, and utility and DSM incentive programs)
Con• More paperwork to demonstrate federal backstop
• Have to meet mass-based goals• State must pass laws in support
DNV GL © 201410
State compliance plans: Case study What are states doing around you? Regional greenhouse gas initiative– State-measures approach,
mass-based, multi-state Existing CO2 emission trading market Will new states join?– NJ was once in; may be back– VA has Dem. governor; recent Acadia
study gives green light– PA considering RGGI
http://www.sightline.org/research/graphics/north-american-carbon-pricing-started-with-rggi/
Examples already exist for multi-state carbon markets, but is it for everyone?

Clean energy incentive program (CEIP)
CEIP will provide opportunities for investments in renewable energy and demand-side energy efficiency that deliver results in 2020 or 2021.
In order for a state to participate in the program, it must include in its initial submittal, if applicable, a non-binding statement of intent to participate in the CEIP.
DNV GL © 201412
Clean energy incentive program (CEIP)
Renewables• For every two MWh generated, the project
will receive one early-action ERC from the state, and the EPA will provide one matching ERC
Energy efficiency• For every two MWh in end-use demand
savings achieved, the project will receive two early-action ERCs from the state, and the EPA will provide two matching ERCs
DNV GL © 201413
CEIP: State/regional responsesArizona• 24% interim goal / 34% final goal
Southwest Power Pool• Leveraging potential regional scale
Pennsylvania• “We’re listening”
Michigan• “Policy make local”
DNV GL © 201414
Energy efficiency and EM&V
Ratepayer-funded
programs• Rebates & loans• Technical
assistance• Education
Building energy codes
• Establish efficiency requirements for new/renovated buildings
State appliance standards
• Establish efficiency requirements for products not covered by federal government
Energy services
performance contracting
• Projects delivered by ESCOs and repaid through consumer bill savings
Volt/VAR optimizatio
n
• Efforts to improve grid efficiency

Energy efficiency and EM&V guidelines: Framework
EM&V guidelines
1. Methods 2. Metrics
and baselines
3. Reporting
4. Deemed savings
5. Independent
factors
6. Accuracy
7. Double counting
8. Effective useful life
9. Savings cycle
10. T&D adders
11. Interactive
effects
12. EM&V protocols
EM&V draft guidelines: http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-08/documents/cpp_emv_guidance_for_demand-side_ee_-_080315.pdf

Energy efficiency EM&V guidelines: Case studyUtility clients wonder how current EM&V practices compare to draft guidelines
How much will states/utilities need to change EM&V approach to align with CPP?
Deemed savings and TRMs
Approx. 20 states developed TRMs
What about the rest?
Baselines
How will “common
practice baseline” impact programs?
Create “market average” for
baseline?
Timeframe & cycles for persistence/verification studies & reporting
savings
How does this line up with what utilities do currently?

States that aren’t taking the first step
Electric sector annual CO2 emissions
16 states currently
suing EPA
Expect federal plan to begin implementation in 2018, if states do not submit plan

Summarizing first steps
State compliance
plans
• If a state is not going to meet 9/26/2016 compliance plan deadline, extension is not a cake walk
CEIP
• Pursuing early-action credits gives states leg up toward compliance
EM&V proposed guidelines
• Guidelines won’t make or break CPP• May cause states/utilities to rethink EM&V
processes
