In order to meet the ambitious climate goals as enshrined in New York's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), the state is about to embark upon a far reaching program to ratchet down emissions from heavy emitters. The Cap and Invest program has a lot of similarities to RGGI and other Cap & Trade efforts, with some key nuances on how New York is planning on using this tool to transition to a clean energy economy.
Karsten Barde, Director of US Policy and Regulatory Strategy for National Grid, joins Paul to discuss the construct of the program, who it's likely to impact, and what to expect as it navigates its way through this preliminary structuring phase.
