• Brief Background on IPM• How are EGU strategies prepared?
– Base Case (CAIR/CAMR/CAVR)– Where are the cost-effective additional
reductions possible?• Regional programs • Potential state policies?• Geographic extent• Projected NA areas
– Other Impacts
Overview

Brief Background on IPM: What is IPM?• IPM is a long-term
capacity expansion and production costing model for analyzing the U.S. electric power sector
• EPA uses IPM to analyze emissions policies affecting the power sector
• IPM outputs are used in EPA’s air quality models
• IPM was used on– CAIR– CAMR– CAVR– Clear Skies Initiative
Model Regions in IPM v3.0

CAIR Emission Caps*(million tons)
2009/2010 2015
Annual SO2 3.7 2.6(2010)
Annual NOx 1.5 1.3(2009)
Seasonal NOx .58 .48(2009)
*For the affected region.States controlled for fine particles (annual SO2 and NOx)
States controlled for ozone (ozone season NOx)
States controlled for both fine particles (annual SO2 and NOx) and ozone (ozone season NOx)
CAIR Geographic Coverage
States not covered by CAIR – sources are required to meet Regional Haze requirements
Regional Policy already in place:Base Case (CAIR/CAMR/CAVR)

Annual NOx: State-Level Emissions

2020 Summer Season EGU NOx Emissions under CAIR/CAMR/CAVR by Fuel Type
Controlled Coal: Emission rate < 0.15 lb/MMBtu or SCR or SNCRControlled Gas: Emission rate < 0.1 lb/Mmbtu for CC, < 0.2 lb/Mmbtu for CT,< 0.15 lb/Mmbtu for O/G SteamControlled Oil: Emission rate < 0.15 lb/MMBtu

2020 Summer Season Uncontrolled Coal EGU NOx Emissions under CAIR/CAVR/CAVR; Adding Further Controls
Controlled Coal: Emission rate < 0.15 lb/MMBtu or SCR or SNCR

Other Impacts
• Cost of the policy
• Marginal cost
• Fuel prices
• Generation mix
• Wholesale electricity prices
• Retirements
*2025 numbers are highly tentative due to more uncertainty in future years.
