6 State Implementation Plan (SIP) Compliance with Clean Air Act Reduce ground-level ozone by reducing precursors: NOx and VOC Safeguard federal transportation dollars

7 Emissions tons per year

8 Ground-Level Ozone # Days above 1-hour standard

9 So, where does the ozone come from? “Ozone Transport”

12 Locations of 50 Largest Power Plants in US

13 PJM Control Area NY MD WV DE OH NJ PA VA

14 Emissions “Offset” We buy wind from area where NOx emissions occur (ozone transport) Wind power “offsets” some coal power generation MDE (or equivalent) awards NOx “allowances” Allowances are retired Credit for “allowances” taken in SIP

15 Price Premium: 1.5 ¢ 2 ¢ (per kWh) Price for Wind Depends On: Size of purchase Contract term NOT electricity rates Cost of Wind Power

16 Cost by Agency Agency 5% Wind kWh 1.5 cents 2 cents Water 10,914,544$163,718$218,291 Schools 9,241,066$138,616$184,821 Government 3,549,996$53,250$71,000 Parks 2,525,126$37,877$50,503 Housing 1,282,956$19,244$25,659 College 1,217,320$18,260$24,346 Total 28,731,008$430,965$574,620
