New Jersey and RGGI Potential Benefits of Renewed Participation

In late 2011 the Christie Administration announced New Jersey’s withdrawal from the program after three years of participation.  As a result, New Jersey’s power plants are no longer governed by a limit on the amount of carbon pollution they can produce. At the same time, the state no longer receives any revenue resulting from the sale of pollution allowances required in participating states – limiting the state’s ability to invest in clean energy initiatives. As a result, the state is missing out on an opportunity to reduce energy bills and create jobs.

RGGI and EPA Requirements A Model for Market-Based Compliance

On June 2, 2014 the EPA released its Clean Power Plan to regulate CO2 emissions from existing power plants. The Clean Power Plan has focused renewed attention on the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states’ Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) as an effective program and flexible approach for states to meet EPA requirements.
