Most of the larger C02 producing plants have been driven out of service, leaving natural gas-fired plants as the majority source of C02. At this time and for the sake of future reliability, NG plants…

• RGGI sells allowances. Each allowance represents a ton of C02 emissions from power plants. The power plants expected to purchase these allowances are participants in RGGI. They become participants by decision of State Legislatures who enroll in RGGI by writing a law to that effect.

• All natural gas-fired and oil-fired plants that have nameplate capacity over 25 megawatts are required to purchase allowances from RGGI and include the cost…
