Why CHP matters to the PUCO
PUCO’s statutory responsibilities: • Energy assurance and reliability • Addressing market deficiencies • Encouraging diversity of electricity supply • Ensuring emergency preparedness

Why now?
Clean Air Act’s Industrial Boiler MACT* • U.S. EPA finalized rules Dec. 20, 2012 • Establishes three-year compliance window** • Facility owners’ choices:
– Add environmental controls/ retrofits to existing boilers – Replace oil/coal boilers with natural gas boilers – Consider installing new CHP as a natural gas option – Shut down/move
Coal-Fired Plant Retirements • Localized grid constraints • Reduced capacity

How CHP could help Ohio
• Create distributed generation in pockets of electricity constraint
• Provide “Island of Power” during outages: -- for sensitive/critical organizations including hospitals, data centers, others -- black start capabilities for everyone else
• Eliminate or defer investment in “t” and “d” • Assist industries in developing cost-effective
emission compliance strategies (Boiler MACT) • Expand customer choices to remain economically
competitive (i.e. retaining businesses and jobs in Ohio)

Potential Coal-fired Plant Replacement?
ACEEE 12-state study (Fall 2012): • CHP can help replace generation lost to retired coal
power plants.
• The CHP technical potential in those 12 states alone is more than enough to offset all coal retirements nationwide.*
* Study did not overlay specific locations of CHP technical potential with specific locations of retiring coal utility power.

Genesis of PUCO/US DOE Partnership
• September 2011: Ohio Gov. John Kasich hosts energy summit and expresses interest in promoting CHP for its economic and environmental benefits.
• Winter 2011: U.S. DOE, through the Midwest Clean Energy Application Center, offers to pilot technical assistance to boiler operators in Ohio.
• February 2012: PUCO adopts resolution in support of the DOE pilot and becomes the first state to participate.

PUCO’s Role and Commitment
From PUCO resolution, February 2012: – Identify boilers in areas of potential constraint as
priorities for U.S. DOE educational efforts – Work with PJM Interconnection to understand how
new CHP could be incorporated into markets – Help boiler owners connect with U.S. DOE and
utilities – Facilitate information sharing with other state
agencies (OEPA, ODOD, ODNR) – Seek opportunities to remove educational and
regulatory barriers to voluntary adoption of cost-effective CHP

US DOE’s Role and Commitment
Provide site-specific technical and cost information to facilities that are burning coal or oil in their boilers and are affected by EPA Boiler MACT Rules. • 40+ major source facilities (~ 90 to 100
boilers) in Ohio • Share information on financial incentives
available at the local, state, utility and federal levels as well as private financing
