Exploring and Evaluating Modular Approaches to Multi-State Compliance with EPA’s Clean Power Plan in the West | April 2015

WIEB Library

This report explores a modular approach to multi-state compliance with the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. Under this approach individual states would develop their own state compliance plans and meet their own state targets, but would develop portions of their plans – called compliance “modules” – in voluntary collaboration with other states. The report describes the reporting system capabilities and functionalities needed to enable the tracking and trading of renewable energy and energy efficiency under a modular compliance approach. The existing WREGIS system provides a technologically robust and flexible platform that could be expanded or modified to accommodate the necessary activities.
