The purpose of this agreement is to conduct a retrospective study to evaluate whether greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions leakage occurred in the electricity sector covered by the California Cap-and-Trade Program (Program), outside of the Western Energy Imbalance Market (EIM), from inception through 2021 and if so, estimate the magnitude and extent of any emission leakage.
Executive Order (EO) 14057, Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability (Dec. 8, 2021), directs the United States Government to “lead by example in order to achieve a carbon pollution-free electricity sector by2035 and net-zero emissions economy-wide by no later than 2050.”

Enshrined into law through the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, New York is on a path to achieve its mandated goal of a zero-emission electricity sector by 2040. New York is focused on driving down energy demand by investing more than $6.8 billion in building energy efficiency and clean heating initiatives through 2025.
sector by 2035, help “deliver an equitable, clean energy future, and put the United States on a path to achieve net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by no later than 2050” to the benefit of all Americans.Nuclear power currently provides 52 percent of the nation’s clean electricity, and the current fleet of reactors are a vital resource to achieve a 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity sector by 2035 and net-zero emissions economy-wide by 2050
This program will connect more African homes, businesses, and institutions to electricity on the grid and beyond the grid; reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector by supporting cleaner electricity generation delivered by the grid and accelerating distributed renewable energy (DRE); and, working in partnership with the Power Africa Coordinators Office, USAID Missions in West Africa, West African governments, and regional institutions
Nuclear power currently provides 50 percent of the nation’s clean electricity, and the current fleet of reactors is a vital resource to achieve a 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity sector by 2035 and net-zero emissions economy-wide by 2050.4 Shifting energy markets and other economic factors have already resulted in the closure of 13 commercial reactors across the United States since 2013.5 These closures have led to an increase in carbon
