Revised RI GHG Emissions Scenarios for 2007
• Baseline revised for first time in 5 years (shown last time) using a new and simpler methodology. Recap…
– Eliminates end-use detail.– Now based primarily on EIA State energy data reports for consumption data (sector by fuel detail
only)– Uses EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook results for New England to project consumption growth and
future electric sector mix. – No changes made to non-energy sector baseline.– No changes made to emissions factors.
• Measures have been updated..– Added consideration of RGGI in Implemented Scenario.– Added consideration of Least Cost Procurement (75% of SBC @ same unit costs and savings)– Revised B&F measures analysis: SBC measures grouped together and shifted to using utilities’
cost estimates for these options, instead of in-house estimates.– Updated prices using EIA historical state data and fuel price projections from AEO2006 and
RGGI, and revised costs for Natural Gas and Wind operation.– No major updates to emission factors.
• New analysis is simpler and easier to update in the future.
Reminder: Change in Units
• In the past we have shown GHG emissions results as the Global Warming Potential of all greenhouse gases in Metric Tonnes Carbon equivalent.
• We now use U.S. Short Tons. (1 Metric Tonne = 1.102 Short Tons)
• To convert results into CO2 equivalent from Carbon equivalent multiply by 44/12 = 3.67.

Notes:
Results highly sensitive to fuel prices and other assumptions.
AEO2007 fuel price projections rather conservative (low) – higher prices = higher savings.
Does not include externality costs (would also increase savings)

Notes:
Sensitivity assumes 50% higher prices for Natural Gas and Gasoline in 2020.
Benefits increase by $400m for I+F scenario and by ~$700m for I+F+UD scenario.

Notes:
I and I+F have almost the same values so only one is visible.
CO emissions are dominated (96%) by transport. Transport policies are the same between I and I+F.
