The Electricity Team addresses issues specific to the electric sector related to the design and implementation of the WCI cap-and-trade program.

 

In 2008, the Electricity Committee assessed policy mechanisms for addressing electricity sector emissions, consulting with stakeholders on conference calls, in public meetings, and through the release of written documents for review and comment.

 

In 2009, the Electricity Committee has been reorganized into a Team, and is continuing to examine technical issues related to the First Jurisdictional Deliverer (FJD) approach and issues concerning reliability and electricity market efficiency.

 

The Electricity Team has divided its work into the following five tasks and associated deliverables:

  • Task 1: Provide Essential Elements for Reporting for the Electric Sector
  • Task 2: Assess FJD Boundary Options for WCI Partner jurisdictions
  • Task 3: Attributing Emissions to Imported Electricity
  • Task 4: Allowance Set-Asides for Voluntary Renewable Energy (VRE) Products
  • Task 5: Competitiveness and Reliability Issues Related to Distribution of Allowance and Allowance Value
