Cap Setting and Allowance Distribution Committee PDF Print E-mail

The Cap Setting and Allowance Distribution (CSAD) Committee will recommend methodologies for establishing the regional WCI GHG emissions cap and each WCI Partner jurisdiction’s allowance budgets, including the one-time budget adjustment in 2012.  Additionally, the Committee is examining harmonization of allowance distribution, offsets compliance limits, and will develop the approach for issuing Early Reduction Allowances.

The work of CSAD will help to ensure that the data being used to inform these decisions are as accurate as possible, that the approach taken addresses competitiveness issues, and that methodologies are applied consistently to achieve each WCI Partner jurisdiction’s specific goal as well as the WCI regional goal.

CSAD has divided its work into the following six tasks in 2009:

  • Task 1: Data Review and Collection
  • Task 2: Cap and Budget Setting
  • Task 3: Competitiveness Analysis
  • Task 4: 2012 One-Time Budget Adjustments
  • Task 5: Offsets Compliance Limit
  • Task 6: Early Reduction Allowances (ERA)
