As detailed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyserda.ny.gov\/-\/media\/Files\/EE\/RGGI\/2015-RGGI-Operating-Plan.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">RGGI investment plan<\/a>, these funds are typically used to support energy efficiency and renewable energy programs in New York State. This is not the first time that the legislature has diverted RGGI proceeds for other purposes\u2014it also diverted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyserda.ny.gov\/-\/media\/Files\/Publications\/Energy-Analysis\/RGGI\/2009-Q3-RGGI-Status-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">$90 million in 2009<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thinkprogress.org\/climate\/2015\/04\/07\/3641147\/new-york-raids-rggi-possibly-threatens-obama-climate-action\/\" target=\"_blank\">$41 million in 2015<\/a> to the general fund. If the Senate proposal is approved, the diversions will total $269 million\u2014nearly 30% of the $925.8 million in auction proceeds that have been collected since the program was launched in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>These diversions are inconsistent with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyserda.ny.gov\/About\/Regional-Greenhouse-Gas-Initiative\/21-NYCRR-Part-507\" target=\"_blank\">New York State regulations<\/a> aimed at ensuring the proceeds of the auctions would be spent on new programs to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The regulations require that the auction proceeds be placed in a segregated funding account that is managed by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and used \u201cto promote and implement programs for energy efficiency, renewable or non-carbon emitting technologies, and innovative carbon emissions abatement technologies with significant carbon reduction potential.\u201d<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Clearly, the diversion of RGGI proceeds to the general budget and for workforce development is at odds with these requirements. And although one could argue that the subsidization of existing nuclear power plants is consistent with the promotion of \u201cnon-carbon emitting technologies,\u201d many stakeholders, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/allianceforagreeneconomy.org\/content\/agree-statement-ny-senate-proposal-raid-renewable-funding-prop-unprofitable-nuclear\" target=\"_blank\">Alliance for a Green Economy<\/a>, believe this undermines the purpose of the regulations and NYSERDA\u2019s ability to support new clean energy and energy efficiency programs. As noted in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eany.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/2016_rggi_budget_letter_to_leaders_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">letter to Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders<\/a> from a large coalition of environmental groups:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The wise stewardship of RGGI funds has ensured the deployment and use of renewable energy and efficiency initiatives. Utilizing RGGI resources to supplant funding for items in the state budget significantly limits the state\u2019s ability to support existing programs, like Green Jobs Green New York, or new initiatives aimed at incentivizing zero emission vehicles\u2014policy priorities reflected in the budgets advanced by the Legislature.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, the legislature is not bound by executive rules, but legislative leaders should nonetheless consider the underlying purpose of those rules and whether it is in the public interest to use the RGGI proceeds in this manner.<\/p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar with the program \u2013 RGGI is an interstate cap and trade program aimed at reducing CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions from the electric power sector. Nine states currently participate in the initiative: New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Most of the carbon allowances are auctioned and the proceeds of those auctions are typically used to promote energy conservation and renewable energy programs.
