Goal: Meet at least 2% of regional annual retail sales of natural gas & electricity via efficiency by 2015 and each year thereafter.• Measured annually by baseline of rolling average
of previous three years retail sales.• C02 Savings = eliminate growth in C02 from
electricity & gas after 2015• Most aggressive regional commitments in North
America
Energy Efficiency
![Page 17: MGA Overview Presentation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061209/54872883b47959e20c8b5433/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Energy Efficiency• Organized into 4 subgroups:– Energy Efficiency potential studies– Utility-related policies– Building codes, appliances standards & governments
leading by example– Best practices
• Fleshing out policy options which will be analyzed by Center for Climate Strategies
• CCS will complete their analysis by Sept.-Oct.• In October MGA’s model will enable Advisory Group
to determine packages of policies that achieve MGA’s 2% goal
![Page 18: MGA Overview Presentation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061209/54872883b47959e20c8b5433/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Goals by 2025: • Increase availability of low-carbon fuels
by 10-fold• Reduce fossil fuel inputs to biofuels by half• Meet half the region’s transportation demand with
biofuels and other low-carbon fuels• Midwest will achieve highest biofuel market
penetration anywhere
Bio-economy & Transportation

• Goal: By 2030, 30 percent of region’s electricity consumed comes from renewable sources
Most aggressive regional commitments in North America
Renewable Electricity
![Page 20: MGA Overview Presentation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061209/54872883b47959e20c8b5433/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Objectives include: • Expanding the region’s domestic production of wind turbines, towers
and blades, solar technologies and other renewable energy technologies
• Make most efficient use of the existing transmission infrastructure and develop new infrastructure to accommodate the region’s economic renewable electricity
• Ensure retention of local economic benefits from wind and other renewable power development
• Maximize cost-effective renewable electricity production in the region and its integration on the grid
Renewable Electricity
![Page 21: MGA Overview Presentation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061209/54872883b47959e20c8b5433/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Goals:
• By 2012: A multi-jurisdiction CO2 pipeline sited and permitted.
• By 2015: Commercial IGCC with CO2 capture using both eastern & western coals by 2015 (MGA states have 25% of U.S. recoverable reserves).
• By 2020: all new coal plants have CCS.• By 2050: entire coal fleet is transitioned to CCS.• Regional commitments rival those of the European Union
Advanced Coal w/CCS

Basic Scope of Work for Each Advisory Group
Quantifiable Policy Measures • Identify, characterize, model, prioritize and recommend quantifiable
policy measures to governors and premier’s staff to achieve MGA goals.– Recommend policy measures to MGA Greenhouse Gas Accord
advisory group to complement cap-and-trade in achieving broader regional emissions reductions targets and also to reduce the cost of the cap-and-trade program itself.
Other Initiatives • Identify, develop and, where appropriate, begin implementing critical
initiatives that achieve Platform’s goals (e.g., technical assessments, public-private partnerships, collaborative projects, etc.).

Scope of Work (cont.)
Regional Scenario Model Development • Provide input into the design of a model to run regional
scenarios that demonstrate the results of multiple combinations of energy efficiency, bioenergy, renewable electricity and advanced coal/CCS themes
MGA Energy Security & Climate Stewardship Roadmap • Develop a broader roadmap that outlines modeling results,
recommended policies and initiatives, implementation results to date and next steps (roadmap will be a primary documentary centerpiece for next Summit in Sept. 2009)

• Challenges:– Most coal-dependent power sector– Energy intensive manufacturing and agriculture industries
• Opportunities:– World class renewables potential– Vast reserves of coal with geologic formations to store
CO2 and agriculture land, forests and wetlands to sequester it
– Industrial base that can be retooled to design, manufacture and service next generation energy technologies at scale
