Treatment of Greenhouse Gas Prices in California Electricity Contracts
Union of Concerned Scientists
Project completed in May 2008.
In March 2008, Synapse participated in a California Public Utilities Commission workshop on greenhouse gas adders in Market Price Referent (MPR) methodology. Synapse’s presentation focused on the appropriate greenhouse gas adder to consider when entering into long-term electricity contracts with renewable resources, and is based upon Synapse’s carbon price forecasts.
