Cli-Mit Renewable Credits Analyzer (UNDER DEVELOPMENT)

The deployment of additional renewable energy supplies is an objective of U.S. energy policy at the national and state levels. It is a top objective of key environmental and energy constituencies. Renewable energy is promoted through voluntary green energy programs, climate change mitigation targets, and voluntary and mandatory tradable renewable certificate (TRCs) programs.

The Cli-Mit Renewable Credits Analyzer sheds lights on a number of questions including:

How fast are renewables likely to expand in the United States under "business as usual" circumstances?

How is  the supply of renewables for TRC markets  affected by the definition of what counts as renewable?

How much would alternative Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) cost?

What are the implications of TRC programs that require local siting of the renewable generation, as opposed to accepting TRCs from projects sited elsewhere?

Which states, regions, or countries are likely to be net buyers or sellers of TRCs under different RPS regimes?

The Cli-Mit Renewable Credits Analyzer will create an easy-to-use scenario-building tool that provides users with significant insights into answers to these kinds of questions. The Analyzer will allow users to evaluate the implications of alternative TRC policy and market scenarios on a real-time basis, thus informing public policy and financial decisionmaking.
