Pennsylvania

Overview

  • Pennsylvania’s 2030 target is a 33.3% reduction in emissions rates from 2012 levels. According to the Sierra Club, pre-CPP programs will get Pennsylvania about 50% towards this goal already. These include measures that have set goals for more energy efficiency and use of renewables, as well as the announced retirements of several coal plants.
  • Gov. Tom Wolf initially promised to deliver a final compliance plan by Sept. 2016, the date when the majority of states are planning to submit their initial plans. The Supreme Court stay will likely impact his ability to do so, but Gov. Wolf is committed to moving forward.

Virginia

Overview

  • Existing energy policies in Virginia (enacted prior to CPP) already put the state on a track to achieve 80% of its year 2030 goals under the CPP. These reductions would come primarily from transitioning from coal to natural gas plants. If Virginia meets its voluntary energy efficiency and renewable energy goals, the state should be able to over-comply with its final goals under CPP.
  • Gov. McAuliffe has promised to continue developing Virginia’s CPP compliance plan despite the Supreme Court stay. Virginia is on track to submit its initial plan in Sept. 2016 and its final plan in Sept. 2018.
