How does CAIR address growth of existing EGUs and new facilities that will start up in the future?
The IPM modeling used to project the emission reductions under CAIR accommodates future growth in demand. The results indicated that, even with the projected future growth, the power sector has highly cost-effective emission reductions. New units would be included under the CAIR emissions caps to ensure that emissions do not grow because of new sources and that all of the expected benefits of the rule are achieved.
