June 15, New England Generation Information System Nancy L. Seidman Division Director Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection

June 15, GIS benefits Agencies Enables efficient simultaneous demonstration of compliance with  DTE Information Disclosure  DOER Renewable Portfolio Standard  DEP GPS (if implemented)  Equivalent attribute laws of all New England states

June 15, Compliance Determination DEP receives emissions data, but not electrical output ISO receives electrical output, but not emissions data GIS marries ISO electrical output to facility emissions data, GIS enables compliance demonstration in terms of pounds of pollutant/MWh

June 15, GIS Working Group Process Allows input from: NEPOOL participants, ISO, APX, and environmental agencies and PUCs from all New England states: no single party with all the answers Technical details built on previous APX efforts in US Policy issues not previously dealt with in such detail, or across so many agencies and jurisdictions

June 15, Pollutants Currently Tracked in GIS CO 2 CO Hg NO x PM PM10 SO 2 VOCs

June 15, Emissions Data Hierarchy CEMS Emissions data reported to state or local agency (typically annually or triennially) Stack testing data Emission factors

June 15, Regulatory Agencies Provide GIS Support Supply adjacent control area (NY, New Brunswick, Quebec) average emissions to assign to system imports Supply default worst-case emissions to be assigned to non-reporting units Approve methodologies for multi-fueled units that wish to be assigned single fuel certificates (“Approved Emissions Protocol” in the GIS Operating Rules)

June 15, Additional Emissions Detail Cogen units required to report emissions associated with electricity generation, not steam Non-reporting units assigned a default worst-case emissions/MWh by fuel Non-reporting Multi-fueled unit assigned emissions of fuel with highest CO 2

June 15, Next Steps Work with NY ISO & PJM to provide consistent system across RGGI region Update GIS operating rules Provide consistent review of QA’d emissions data Review systems beyond borders of NE ISO to update or establish imported power attributes
