familiar with the Cap-and-Trade Program.
DATE: MAY 23, 2012
TIME: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
WEBINAR: Details to follow
The presentation will be posted before the webinar and a
recording of the webinar will be available after the webinar at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm.
BACKGROUND:
The California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Market-Based
Compliance Mechanisms Regulation (Cap-and-Trade Regulation) and
the revised Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse
Gas Emissions (Mandatory Reporting Regulation) were adopted by
the California Air Resources Board in October 2011 and formally
went into effect January 1, 2012.
The Mandatory Reporting Regulation (MRR) requires first
deliverers of electricity to report greenhouse gas emissions from
electricity generation and imported electricity. Additionally,
MRR requires all retail providers to report California retail
sales. Under the Cap-and-Trade Regulation, first deliverers of
electricity will have an obligation to surrender compliance
instruments (allowances and offset credits) equal to their
emissions (as reported under MRR) to ARB. Allowances will be
freely provided by ARB to utilities. There are restrictions on
the use of allowance value. These details will be covered in the
webinar. Staff will also describe key dates and obligations that
utilities must meet to comply with the regulations, as well as
provide information about how utilities participate in the
program. This presentation is targeted at smaller POUs that may
not be familiar with the provisions of the Cap-and-Trade
Program.
