At AQC, we bring regulatory precision and market intelligence to clients navigating RGGI’s cap-and-invest program for power sector CO2 emissions across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
What is RGGI?
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative is a cooperative, market-based program among ten Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states designed to cap and reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector. Participating states set a regional cap on CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel-fired power plants, and regulated facilities must hold CO2 allowances equal to their emissions.
Allowances are distributed primarily through quarterly regional auctions, and compliance entities can also buy, sell, and trade allowances on the secondary market to meet their obligations at the lowest cost. AQC assists clients in understanding allowance pricing, auction dynamics, and compliance timelines so they can make informed decisions.
At AQC, we assist our RGGI clients through:
– Provide market education and regulatory guidance
– Educate our clients on unique transactional structures available in the market
– Facilitate the purchase and sale of RGGI CO2 allowances
