Speakers: Jennifer Martin (Center for Resource Solutions) and David Farnsworth (RAP), moderator: Ken Colburn (RAP)
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has clarified that state clean energy programs – including those related to renewable energy – can help ensure compliance with a state's Clean Power Plan (CPP). A key challenge for state regulators will be tracking the results of renewable energy programs, which can occur within or across state borders. Renewable energy tracking systems, together with government policies designed to increase the production and use of renewable energy, will be a key element in helping states reduce the carbon intensity of their energy sector.

On Thursday, May 14, Jennifer Martin (Center for Resource Solutions) and David Farnsworth (Regulatory Assistance Project) examined the ways states are using renewable energy and discussed how the functionality of existing regional renewable energy tracking systems can be used by states. to track renewable energy and support compliance with the Clean Power Plan.

The presentation draws on several recent collaborations between the Center for Resource Solutions and RAP to address the use of renewable energy to meet the Clean Power Plan.
