Air Quality and Power Generation Intersections
Air Quality and Power Generation Intersections
Need Determination
– New Capacity Needed for Growth and Replacement
– Base load vs. peaking units Technology Selection
– DSM/Renewables vs. Fossil Siting
– System Stability vs. Localized/EJ Impacts

Tiered requirements based on location that reflect current air quality
Mitigation fees for ERCs to invest in pollution reduction projects
– $92,000/lb PM; $34,400/lb SOx ERCs to be issued for
– First 2700 MW units unless approved by the Board
– After CEC approval and long-term contracts except for serving native load
