  12. Appendix B – Additional Detail on Key IPM Assumptions

  13. SO2 Allowance Bank pre-2012 • SO2 bank at end of 2008 had 8.6 million allowances • Assuming continuation of CAIR in reference case, SO2 emissions continue to decline through 2012 • The various SO2 caps in the alternative scenarios would lead to different emissions levels in 2012 and therefore, different starting banks. For this analysis, the same starting bank based on the reference case was used for all scenarios. • Current vintage allowances used for compliance before banked pre-2010 allowances • 1:1 retirement ratio for pre-2010 allowances compared to 2:1 for 2011 and beyond • Combining the 2008 starting bank balance, projected emissions and allocations, and retirement assumptions results in a starting 2012 bank of 9.1 million SO2 allowances.

  14. Technology Limits in IPM • The addition of new FGD and SCR controls is also limited for 2012 only to not exceed what is being built in 2009, the most additions in a single year. Additions have been limited because of the short time available for planning and construction by 2012. • The SCR constraint is met in the most stringent NOx cap case (Scenario #3). Otherwise, SCR and FGD constraints are not reached. • Feasibility constraints have been updated for in IPM in order to limit the market penetration of the various electricity generating sources to ensure realistic build patterns in response to CO2 regulatory policies. • These limits are imposed on new renewable, nuclear, and coal with CCS technology. • The limits were determined based upon various factors, including: • Historical deployment patterns • Potential to expand domestic engineering, construction, and manufacturing base • Ability to educate and train workforce (this is particularly true for new coal with CCS and nuclear plants due to the highly technical nature of building these facilities) • Because new nuclear and new coal with CCS are both complicated technologies that require sophisticated planning, engineering, and construction support, the same engineering/construction firms would be building both of these facilities and there would be a dynamic between the greater resources needed to build one technology relative to the other, in addition to the inherent limitations of increasing the skilled workforce. • To reflect this dynamic, EPA has incorporated a technology curve in the model, whereby the amount of new nuclear and coal with CCS is limited but also incorporates a trade-off between each technology (i.e., if you build more of one, you must build less of the other). • The amount of each technology that is built in IPM is determined in an economic manner, up to the limits. • CCS retrofits to the existing coal fleet are also limited in IPM, and are constrained separately on the assumption that these projects can be handled by smaller and more specialized firms. OR Note: In addition to the renewable capacity limitations, a 20% cap is set on the amount of electricity generation in a model region that can come from variable power sources (e.g., wind). * Post 2015 new CCS constraints exclude the 4 GW of hardwired capacity. CCS retrofit capacity reflects pre-retrofit capacity (e.g., before CCS parasitic load is taken into account).

  15. Emission Control Limits in IPM • Used historical FGD and SCR annual additions data to determine reasonable limits for retrofits possible by 2012. • In the past 6 years, the addition of new controls has been highest for both FGD and SCR in 2009, so this year was chosen as the upper limit. • No limit on new controls was implemented for years beyond 2012 assuming that adequate time and resources would be available.

  16. General IPM Modeling Limitations • The model does not have the ability to add emissions control retrofits to smaller units under 100 MW. • Demand response was not applied in this modeling resulting in somewhat overstated overall costs. • EPA’s application of IPM does not incorporate several technological innovations that can become available over time (e.g., ultra-supercritical coal, advanced renewables) or enhanced energy efficiency that could lead to demand reductions. • The model provides a good sense over the next 15 to 20 years of how the power sector could operate with expected demand, fuel prices, technologies, and other factors, based on EPA’s best information available. • Allowance allocation and auctioning are not accounted for in the modeling. • While IPM endogenously builds new capacity, the model places an exogenous constraint on the total amount of most new capacity builds. • There are non-economic considerations for significant expansion of new coal with CCS, nuclear power, and renewables which are not reflected in IPM, such as the need for new transmission, siting concerns, and permitting. • IPM assumes a 60 year life for nuclear power plants and therefore no retirement for obsolescence occur during the modeling timeframe. • There was not time to conduct sensitivity analysis of key assumptions.
