EIA’s April 2005 Analysis of Modeled NCEP Recommendations Howard Gruenspecht, Deputy Administrator Energy Information Administration (howard.gruenspecht@eia.doe.gov) Presented at: National Commission on Energy Policy Workshop September 1, 2005 Washington, D.C
Background In December 2004, Senator Bingaman requested that EIA provide an analysis of the impacts of the NCEP policy recommendations EIA modeled some, but not all, of the NCEP regulatory and incentive programs and performed sensitivity analysis to consider alternative technology cost and availability scenarios The baseline for the analysis was the 2005 Annual Energy Outlook Reference Case, which does not include programs in the recently enacted energy bill.
Cases Considered in EIA’s Analysis REF =AEO2005 Reference Case HiTech AEO2005 HiTech Case CAFE = REF +NCEP CAFE program (w/ details provided by Bingaman staff) Cap-Trade = REF +NCEP cap and trade program for greenhouse gases (GHGs) including safety valve No Safety = Cap-Trade w/o safety valve Bldg-Std = REF + building/appl standards Incent = REF + tax incentives and Deployments NCEP-HiT HiTech + NCEP NCEP = All modeled policies Today’s briefing focuses on shaded cases Full report at http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/servicerpt/bingaman/index.html
