Policy Option Modeling: Update Meeting of the Illinois Climate Change Advisory Group 130 West Mason Street, Springfield, IL April 3, 2007 Governor Rod R. Blagojevich Climate Change Advisory Group
Why model? • Examine different policy scenarios, including sensitivities • Examine the cost of policy packages • Assess interplay between policy options
Factors influencing choice of model approach • Timeline • Cost • Capability • Track record
Power sector modeling with separate analysis for other sectors GSP Employment Modeling Power - dispatch - electricity prices - new builds Energy Prices REMI Modeling of Macroeconomic impacts Separate Analyses New Policies • Transport • - VMT • mode switching Energy Demand • Industry • Commercial • Residential Agriculture • - production • efficiency Emissions - reductions - cost of reductions
Next steps: Subgroup considerations • Reference Case • 3 critical assumptions for power sector modeling: • Price of natural gas • Rate of electrical load growth • Cost and performance of new power plants • Off the shelf assumptions from EIA and EPA available • Determine which policies are appropriate for modeling • Report to CCAG
